id=\"Can_you_use_straight_stitch_on_stretch_fabric\"><\/span>Can you use straight stitch on stretch fabric?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The main reason is that when sewing woven fabrics, we typically use a straight stitch, and straight stitches can&#8217;t stretch so they will &#8216;pop&#8217; and break when the fabric is stretched. We therefore need to use a stitch that can stretch with the fabric, like a zig zag stitch.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_alter_knitted_trousers\"><\/span>Can you alter knitted trousers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to shorten your knitted garment ( sleeves, the body, skirt, pants, dress), please mark it with a safety pin or fold it at the correct length or you can let us know how much you would like it to be shortened.

But don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;ve only got a regular sewing machine \u2013 sewing knits is perfectly possible. No need for professional or fancy sewing machines!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_purpose_of_serger\"><\/span>What is purpose of serger?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>A serger, commonly referred to as an overlock machine, combines three functions into one simple operation-stitching a seam, trimming the excess seam allowance and overcasting the edge of your fabric-allowing you to achieve professional quality stitching in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_sew_knits_by_hand\"><\/span>Can you sew knits by hand?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s pretty rare that you&#8217;ll need to hand stitch a knit fabric as they&#8217;re a more casual fabric. But on that occasion, you&#8217;ll need to choose the correct kind of stitch to suit the fabric.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_type_of_seam_finish_is_used_for_hem_fray\"><\/span>What type of seam finish is used for hem fray?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Overcast seam finish is a finish which is suitable for both thick and thin fabrics, which fray easily. It can be used for seam along the armscye, yoke lines and even in hem lines. A plain seam is made first.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_hem_a_zig-zag_stitch\"><\/span>How do you hem a zig-zag stitch?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ra49p5_V5Eo\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_have_to_Backstitch_a_zigzag_stitch\"><\/span>Do you have to Backstitch a zigzag stitch?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Do you have to backstitch a zigzag stitch? You should backstitch zigzag stitches to prevent the stitches from unravelling. To do this, simply use the reverse function on your sewing machine to stitch a few stitches backwards, then continue sewing forwards again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_I_dont_have_a_Surger\"><\/span>What if I don&#8217;t have a Surger?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Serging without a Serger Option #2: How to Use a ZigZag Stitch as an Overlocking Stitch. If your sewing machine doesn&#8217;t have any of the overlock stitches, but it has a zigzag stitch then here is another option!
