The Stitch and Its Uses
The three-step zigzag is a combination
zigzag and straight stitch. You may use
the three-step zigzag everywhere you
would use the basic zigzag stitch, it has
more strength, elasticity, and is flatter
than a regular zigzag.
The three-step zigzag stitch is
especially uselut for:
-- mending
-- sewing patches smoothly and
securely
-- repairing straight tears
= finishing seams
f
Seam Finishing (Overcasting)
Place the tabric under the presser foot
so that the edge wilt be slightly inside
the right hand side of the presser loot,
Guide the work so the right-hand
stitches tall at the edge of the fabric.
Mending
Position the tear under the needle so
that the stitching will catch both sides.
