Bridging stitch

The bridging stitch is suitable for

joining two pieces of fabric with

folded edges.

Also use to join lace and ribbon.

Elastic shirring

The bridging stitch is also useful for

gathered elastic shirring. Use the

buttonhole foot C, tighten the upper

thread tension. Remember that the

elastic will always be stitched

double, so take this into account

when calculating how much you

will need. Place the shirring elastic

(elastic thread) around the finger of

the presser foot C. Sew from the

wrong side over both lengths of the

elastic following marked lines.

Gather the shirring by pulling the

elastic threads.

Seam and overcast

Some stitches can be used for

seaming and overcasting directly on

the edge where a 5 mm (1/4") seam

is allowed. Place the fabric so that

the inside right ”toe” of the presser

foot follows the edge of the fabric.

Overlock is chiefly used for sewing

heavy stretch fabric. Snap on presser

foot B.

Overcast stitch, may be used to

sew light and medium non-stretch

fabric and light stretch fabric. Snap

on presser foot J.

Presser foot J is also used to

overlock and overcast many diffe-

rent fabrics with the exception of

heavy, firm fabrics. The pin on the

presser foot should follow the edge

of the fabric and will prevent the

fabric from puckering. Stitch width

5-6 mm. When using stitch width 4.5

or lower, use presser foot A.
