1
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.

2
ELASTIC APPLICATION
Using stitches with built-in stretch, elastic can be applied directly to the fabric
without having thread breakage when stretching the elastic.
Machine Setup
Stitch: Multi-Zigzag Stitch F (for sample)
Honeycomb Stitch F
Presser Foot: General Purpose Foot C
Stitch Length: 1.5
Stitch Width: 7

and keep elastic even with 5/8” seam line.
Hold elastic in front of and behind foot, and stretch slightly while sewing.
Trim top of fabric even with top edge of elastic.
Draw a line 5/8” away from top edge of tricot wrong side.
Position one end of elastic slightly off drawn line on tricot.
Lower presser foot and press needle up/down button to hold elastic in place
(QQ). [For 7350, manually lower needle into elastic.]
Start stitching and hold elastic separately while stitching down center of elastic,
pull slightly on elastic to create gathering.
Trim 5/8” edge flush with elastic edge.

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.
