Seam
A seam sews two pieces of fabric together with a seam
allowance that will usually be pressed open. In most cases,
edges of the seam allowance are À nished with an overcast
stitch before sewing the seam.
Seams in stretch fabric must stretch with the fabric. The
stretch stitch makes a stretchy seam that is suitable for
sewing together pieces of light stretch fabric.
FABRIC: Woven medium, cut in two.
SELECT: Woven medium fabric and Seam technique.
(The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a
straight stitch.)
USE: Presser foot A and size 80 needle as recommended.
SEW:
