1. Cut out actuator from template.
|
|
|
2. On stretchy spandex, trace out a 9" x 3" rectangle with the most stretchy orientation of the fabric in the length direction.
|
|
|
3. Trace actuator inside the rectangle
|
|
|
4. Cut out rectangle.
|
|
|
5. Place stretchy spandex rectangle on woven fabric. Make sure that the template is either in the production direction (parallel to fibers) or perpendicular to it.
|
|
|
6. Cut around the perimeter to make two woven fabric rectangles
|
|
|
7. Two cut out rectangles
|
|
|
8. Set sewing machine to zig zag mode. Adjust the settings so that the stitch length is 2.0 and the pitch is 2.0
|
|
|
9. Hold the two fabric layers together and place them under the foot so the blunt end of the traced actuator shape is under the foot and the needle touches down slightly in from the perimeter. Back stitch for 2-3 stitches to lock thread in place.
|
|
|
10. Run the outline of the actuator through the machine with the zigzag stitch, keeping inside the actuator outline
|
|
|
11. Stop sewing when the machine gets back to the blunt edge of the actuator outline. Back stitch for 2-3 stitches to lock thread in place. Keep this end open and remove fabric from the machine.

|
12. Cut out the textile pocket, making sure not to get too close to the zigzag stitch.
