This is used to finish seam allowance
on synthetics
and other fabrics
that tend to pucker.
The stitch is
also excellent
for darning
and mending
tears.
[]
Seam finishing
Place fabric under the presser foot [A] in such a
manner that the edge is slightly
inside the right-hand
side of the presser foot.
Guide the fabric so that the
right-hand
stitches
fall at the edge of the fabric.
[]
Mending
Position
the tear under the needle so that the stitch
catches
both side.
