This is the same type of,stitch used by
the garment industry in making sports-
-wear. It is used for seams of 3/8" to
1/4". The seam is formed and finished
in one operation. It must be osed when
you are making swimwear, ski pants
and other garments that require stretch.
Fig. 1 shows the raw edge finished.
Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric
just short of the outside edge.
Raw or worn edges of older garments
can be overcast to prevent further
raveling.

This is a good stitch to use in making or
repairing lingerie. The stitch is decora-
tive as well as useful. Simply stitch the
elastic into place around the waist of the
garment, making sure that the elastic is
evenly spaced. To do this mark the
correct length piece into quarters and
match these markings with center front
and back of the garment as well as side
seams.
