GATHERING
OVER
CORD
Ordinary
gathering
with
a
basting
stitch
often
breaks
while
pulling
in
fullness.
A
small
zigzag
across
a
cord
such
as
crochet
thread
or
carpet
thread,
gives
a
much
stronger
cord
for
gathering
fullness
into
fabrics.
Once
the
gathers
have
been
stitched
in
place,
the
cord
can
be
pulled
out
in
order
to
eliminate
bulk.

APPLICATIONS
OF
THE
MULTIPLE
STITCH
ZIGZAG
OVERCASTING
The
multiple
stitch
zigzag
is
an
excellent
choice
for
overcasting.
It
keeps
the
fabric
flat
and
Prevents
raveling.
For
most
fabrics,
this
stitch
is
better
than
the
zigzag
stitch
for
overcasting.
The
stitch
should
fall
right
at
the
raw
edge
of
the
fabric
Feed
the
fabric
under
the
presser
foot
by
guiding
the
raw
edge
along
the
right
hand
side
of
the
hole
in
the
presser
foot.

PATCHING
The
multiple
stitch
zigzag
is
an
excellent
stitch
for
patching.
It
is
stronger
than
the
zigzag
and
the
tiny
stitches
bury
into
the
fabric
to
make
an
almost
invisible
stitch
when
using
matching
thread.
Place
the
patch
over
the
right
side
of
the
worn
or
damaged
area.
Sew
around
the
patch
with
the
multiple
stitch
zigzag
letting
the
last
stitch
to
the
right
overcast
the
edge
of
the
patch.
When
turn
ing
corners
leave
the
needle
in
the
fabric
at
the
corner.
Usually
this
will
be
the
furthest
stitch
to
the
right
or
left.
In
this
way,
the
corners
are
doubly
stitched
and
very
strong.
When
the
patch
is
stitched
in
place,
trim
away
the
excess
worn
fabric
on
the
wrong
side
of
the
patch.
