Types of seams on a sewing machine

• change zippers in trousers and jeans;
• wrap loops on jackets, coats and trousers;
• impose patches on the knees and elbows;
• process blooming and "crumbling" edges.

ATTENTION. For these and similar operations, there are special paws. The most commonly used foot is the overcast foot (it replaces the overlock). For stitching loops, as well as for stitching zippers.

Types of seams on a sewing machine

• connecting;
• finishing;
• regional.

CONNECTING

Given the thickness of the fabric, determine the size of the stitch. Simple stitches are used especially often. The thicker the material, the longer the stitch. Otherwise, the needle will break. Or the sewing machine will constantly jam. The thread starts wrapping around the needle. Have to rip. Pull tangled threads. And refuel your assistant.

The stitch seam is used to connect:

• side and shoulder sections of jackets, shirts, blouses, etc .;
• sleeves and the main part of the model;
• detachable parts of dresses, cloaks and coats;
• opening and sleeves.

Fold, as usual, with the front sides and lay the line. Ironing "on the edge" to save the desired position with slices is done after the steamer. You can also iron in one direction or in different. This type of seam is performed with and without landing of one of the joined edges.

Types of false joints:

With an open slice, slices overlap one another. We lay the lines parallel to the slices.

With one closed one, the following is done: bend a section of one part to the wrong side and iron it. Place this edge on the second part. Tack. Sew, backing off the desired number of millimeters in accordance with the model.

Sewing:

• A superscript, with an open cut, is obtained when the fabric is attached to the marking. Turn to the front. Suture along the edge and leave an open stock (for pockets, yokes, etc.).
• Boring goes after the workpiece. Spread allowances in different directions. From the line to the second distance depends on the type of work. It is convenient when creating various leather products (jackets, bags, belts, etc.).
• French is obtained by adding the details inside out. Connect them. Unscrew the fabric on the front side and lay the second stitch. The edge should be inside, as it is used for transparent and translucent "loose" fabrics.
• Stitching is done by marking the desired width of the folds. Sew folds along it.
• Adjustment with a closed cut is done after cutting the seam allowance. We have fun inside.

REFERENCE. Some of the types of these seams are called embossed. They are considered: a tuner with a cord and without, superscript, interlaced.

FINISHING SEAMS

Sutures with piping come in different types:

• Old. It is used for the manufacture of various forms (clothing for cooks, physicians, maids, stewardesses, etc.). The strips from which the edging is subsequently obtained are bent in half inside the inside out. Lay between two main parts. Cut the slices. Sew on at a distance that is required by the conditions of the task.
• Overhead. It is done using technical equipment by analogy with a simple seam with a closed cut. A strip of fabric for decoration is also included. Pre-folded and released at a distance depending on the style.
• Grinding with edging is performed on the same principle as the stitching. IMPORTANT. But there is a difference. In a seam seam, the joined parts are ironed. The seam sections are ironed in opposite directions from the stitch. In the turning part, they are turned on the front side. Kant is then obtained on a fold.

EDGE

Taping is based on its width. That is selected in accordance with the type of product. The edge is enclosed in half-folded braid. It remains only to sew along the edges. "Framed." It is done through oblique sharpening. It is bent in half. They are ironing.

Narrow edge seams are divided into:

• zigzag;
• Moscow;
• in hem with closed and open slices.

Double edging is done by joining along the edge of the part. Then unscrew it to the front side and bend along the edge. Tucking with a closed trim is obtained through its fold in the middle. Next, it must be attached to the product around the edge. Unscrew the trim on the front side. Sew along the edge.

Designation of types of seams on machines

Depending on the purpose of the seam, the type of string is determined. They are overlock and straight. Zigzag and countersunk. And also certain types of seams suggest working with stretch fabrics. Sewing machines manufactured by the industry in our time are very diverse in terms of number of functions, design and purpose.

IMPORTANT! Developers are recommended to professionals to acquire equipment with the widest possible range of functions. Necessarily with an overlock. Allowing the processing of fabrics of different thicknesses and types. And programmed for several hundred kinds of stitches. Electronic models are what you need. Simpler machines - electromechanical machines are also very good. They can be used by both amateurs and pros.

Conclusion

REFERENCE. New products are constantly appearing on the market for this type of equipment. The range of their functions is wide: from a simple overcasting of an edge to a sewing out of complex loops. It is the number of lines and operations that becomes the determining moment when buying a sewing machine.

But buying expensive software-controlled options makes sense only for a professional seamstress. Amateurs usually use a meager set of operations.

Overlock sewing is used most often. As well as a zigzag and straight seam. For complex finishes, a special foot is used. Everything else is for the surroundings. Something must justify the high sale value of the equipment.
