Applications
at
Straight
Stitch
A.
Seams
The
normal
stitch
length
for
most
fabrics
is
3,
but
the
length
chosen
should
depend
on
the
fabric
and
area
of
usage.
Usually,
heavier
fabrics require
longer
stitches,
and
lighter
weight
fabrics
require
shorter stitches.
For
curved
seams
and
bias
cut
areas
use
a
shorter
stitch
length
to
add
strength
and
elasticity
to
the
seam.
B.
Basting/Topstltching
Sewing
a
seam
with
a
longer
stitch
is
useful
for
temporary
seams
prior
to
fitting.
Basting
stitches
also
may
be
used
when
gathering
in
fullness.
Topstitching
can
be
done
very
effec
tively
with
the
long
straight
stitch.
For
a
bolder
stitch,
two
threads
of
the
same
type
can
be
threaded
through
one
needle
(size
14
or
16).
A
heavier
thread
such
as
buttonhole
twist
may be
used
for
topstitching,
but
be
sure
to
use
a
larger
needle
(size
16
or
18).
The
triple
stretch
straight
stitch may
be
uses,
but
caution
must
be
used
as
this
stitch
is
difficult to
remove.

Fun

I
>>>?EJ
The
reverse
stitch
patterns
produce
briar
designs
for
use
on
household
linens and
children
clothes.
These
reverse
stitch
pattern
can
be
used
to
sew
in
hems.
The
reverse
stitch
patterns
can
also
be
used
for
topstitching
bindings
and
ribbons
for
decorative
effect.
This
is
done
in
the
same
manner
that
lace
is
applied
with
the
zigzag
stitch.
The straight
stitched
edge
of
the
reverse
stitch
patterns
on
the
left
should
be
sewn
on
the
left
edge
of
the
binding
or
ribbon.
This
decorative
effect
can
be
used
on
towels
and
placemats
for
a
pleasant
appearance.
The
reverse
stitch
pat
terns
can
also
be
corded
for
stronger
decorative
edges
on
place-
mats
and tablecloths.
Simply
place
four
strands
of
pearl
cotton,
embroidery
floss
or
yarn
under the
presser
foot.
A
transparent
foot
will
help
guide the
cord
evenly
while
sewing
the reverse
stitch
patterns.
The
reverse
stitch
patterns
can
be
sewn
with
two
threads
through
one
needle
for
a
more
effective
decora
tive
stitch.
Simply
thread
two
sewing
threads
through
the upper
threading
system.
A
larger
needle
should be
used
to
accommodate
the
two
threads.
Use
this
decorative
technique
for
enhancing
tablecloths, placemats,
napkins,
and
curtains.
NOTE:
Narrow
