Sewing
Gathering
Use a slightly longer stitch than normal
straight stitch, 3.5-5.0. Always sew two
gathering threads next to each other.
• Place a single thickness of fabric
under the presser foot and stitch.
• Stitch a second row next to the fi rst.
• Pull both bobbin threads to gather
fabric. Be careful not to pull them
out.
Reinforced Straight Stitch
The reinforced straight stitch is stronger
than an ordinary straight stitch, due
to the fact that the stitch is triple and
elastic. The reinforced straight stitch can
be used for all heavy fabrics, for crotch
seams that are subject to considerable
strain and for topstitching in heavy
fabrics.
Repair garment seams in stress areas
with this stitch.
Fabric: Woven heavy, right sides
