Elastic Stitching
You can use the Elastic Stitch for mending, sewing 
elastic or joining fabric. Each is explained below. 
Set the pattern selection dial to the Elastic Stitch. 
■ Mending
1
Set the stitch length dial between “F” and 2.5.
2
Place the reinforcement fabric under the area 
you want to mend.
3
Following the line of the tear, sew using the 
Elastic Stitch as shown.
■ Sewing Elastic
1
Place the elastic on the fabric.
2
As you sew, stretch the elastic in front of and 
behind the presser foot.
■ Joining Fabric
You can use the Elastic Stitch to join two pieces of 
fabric together and it is very effective when 
sewing knitted fabrics. If you are using nylon 
thread, the stitch will not be visible.
1
Put the edge of the two pieces of fabric 
together and center them under the presser 
foot.
2
Sew them together using the Elastic Stitch. 
Make sure you keep the two fabric edges close 
together.
