Special Stitch Modifier-
Middle Position between S and L
Zigzag Presser Foot
This is the same type of stitch used by
the garment industry in making sports-
wear. It is used for seams of 3/8" to
1/4". The seam is formed and finished
in one operation. It must be used when
you are making swimwear, ski pants and
other garments that require stretch.
Fig. 1 shows the raw edge finished.
Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric
just short of the outside edge.
Raw or worn edges of older garments
can be overcast to prevent further
raveling.

ADJUSTING STRETCH
STITCH BALANCE
Stitch modifier should be in middle
position between S and L for most
materials. Depending upon the type of
fabric used, you may need to adjust this
control to match forward stitches of
stretch sewing with reverse motion
stitches. To shorten stretch stitches,
turn the modifier slightly toward "S"...
to lengthen, turn toward "L".
