Use a thread colour that exactly matches the fabric.
If you are sewing very light or transparent fabrics, use a transparent nylon
thread.
 Fold the fabric as illustrated.
 Sew on the fold, as illustrated. The straight stitches should be on the hem,
and only the points of the zigzag stitches should extend into the upper
fold of the fabric.
 Remove the fabric from the machine and straighten it out.
The folded-out fabric now has a blind hem stitch.
6.11.8. Elastic stitch: Triple straight and zigzag stitch
Use these stitches for sewing elastic fabrics or knitwear, or for sewing on elas-
tic bands, etc.
The triple-stretch straight or zigzag stitch provides a particularly strong stitch
seam, e.g. for crotch seams on trousers, armhole seams, inlets and so on, and
is three times as strong as a normal seam and is also far more elastic. The seam
stretches with the fabric without the thread breaking.

Sewing all kinds of elastic fabrics Use a synthetic thread, as this makes the
stitches practically invisible.
6.11.9. Sewing together two pieces of fabric
You can use the elastic stitch to join two pieces of fabric.
 Place the two fabric edges under the presser foot. Make sure that the two
edges remain together and that the needle (26) enters the fabric right and
left at the same distance from the centre.
6.11.10. Sewing on elastic bands
 Position the elastic band as required.
 Sew on the elastic band using the elastic stitch, using your hands to stretch
out the band in front of and behind the presser foot. The more you stretch
it, the more it will gather.
