RIBBING APPLICATION
RIBBING APPLICATION
The Overedge Stretch Stitch joins and finishes stretch seams in one step.
This is ideal for applying ribbing in T-shirts and sweatshirts.
Machine Setup
Stitch: Overedge Stretch Stitch P
Presser Foot: Overcasting Foot E
Stitch Length: S
Stitch Width: 6 or 7
Needle: Yellow Band 90/14
Materials
Medium to heavy weight knit fabric - 6” x 6” square
Ribbing - 3” x 6”
Procedure
Cut a curve in the knit fabric to resemble a neckline.
Fold ribbing in half lengthwise.
Starting at the left side of the knit curve, place ribbing on front side of curve.
Match all 3 cut edges and place under the foot.
Line up fabric edges with quide on foot E and stitch the length of the seam.
Stretch ribbing slightly to fit the cut edge of the knit.
When finished, lift foot and pull threads and fabric straight back behind foot and
trim.
NOTE:
The overdege stretch stitch makes sewing seams in knits look as though
they were finished on a serger. This stitch is stronger and more
durable than overlock stitching.

Feed Dogs: Down Position
Materials
Shirting
One 2-hole button
Procedure
Fold fabric in half and place under foot.
Position the button on the fabric so that the holes in the button are between the
toes of the foot.
Lower the presser foot to hold the button in place.
Turn the hand wheel towards front of machine and into the right or left hole.
Adjust the stitch width dial to fine tune the swing of the needle into the other
hole.
Recheck the swing of the needle into the other hole and then use foot control to
stitch 5-6 stitches.
Before removing the button and fabric from the machine, dial to straight stitch.
Leave width at current setting and stitch in place for three stitches. This forms a
tie-off on the back side to secure button.
Apply a liquid fray-preventer on the backside of fabric on the knots. Trim
threads after they dry, being careful not to cut thread knots.
Note:
- Remember to raise the feed dogs. Use the needle up/down button twice to
bring up feed dogs easily (QQ).
- You can also use the button sewing foot for attaching curtain rings, snaps and
hook and eye closures.
