Lift presser foot and turn belt carrier up to the upper side of waist band and lower presser foot. Stitch back on same
place but top stitch now over the belt carrier. With the help of bar tacking machine, belt carrier can be stitched
easily since the material might be thick. Stitching in treadle machine is slightly difficult due to thick material. Bar
tacking machine is mostly used in industries for mass production to give good finish. (Fig 4)
Both stitch lines should cover each other.
