THREE
STEP
ZIG-ZAG
The
three
step
zig-zag
stitch
has
a
wide
range
of
sewing
applications,
such
as
patching,
darning,
repairing
tears,
mending,
sewing
on
elastic
and
lace,
oversew
ing
edges
etc.
on
a
wide range
of
fabrics.
The
illustration
shows
patching,
where
the
stitches
are
to
the
edge
of
the
patch
and
a
tear,
where
the
stitches
go
firstly
over
the centre
of
the
tear
and
then
to
either
side
but
overlapping
slighly
on
the
first
row.
The
stitch
length
can
be
reduced
until
the
stitches
are
very
close
together.
This
will
give
a
stronger
finish
for
most
repairing
operations.
