■ Mending
Place the reinforcement fabric under the
1
area you want to mend.
• Use the basting pins to hold the
reinforcement fabric.
Following the line of the tear, sew using
2
the Elastic Stitch as shown.
■ Sewing elastic
Pin the elastic tape to the wrong side of
1
the fabric.
As you sew, stretch the elastic in front of
2
and behind the presser foot.
■ Joining fabric
You can use the Elastic Stitch to join two pieces of
fabric together and it is very effective when sewing
knitted fabrics. If you are using nylon thread, the
stitch will not be visible.
Put the edge of the two pieces of fabric
1
together and center them under the
presser foot.
Sew them together using the Elastic Stitch.
2
Make sure you keep the two fabric edges
close together.
• Use the basting pins to hold the two fabric
