UNDERSTITCHING
FACINGS
The
multiple
stitch
zigzag
is
an
excellent
choice
for
undersitching
and
eliminating
bulk
in
facing
seam
allowances.
After
attaching
the
facing
to
the
garment,
trim
and
clip
the
seam
allowance
as
usual.
Press
the
seam
allowances
toward
the
facing
and
use
the
multiple
stitch
zigzag
close
to
the
seam,
stitching
through
the
facing
and
the
seam
allowances.
Using
a
matching
thread,
the
stitch
will
blend
in
to
the
fabric
and
prevent
excess
bulk.
This
is
much
more
successful
than
a
straight
stitch
for
understitching.
It
really
helps
to
keeØ
the
facings
from
rolling.

DECORATIVE
EFFECTS
As
with
the
blind
hem
stitch,
the
multiple
stitch
zigzag
can
be
used
for
many
decorative
combi
nations.
If
the
stitch
is
pivoted
when
the
needle
reaches
the
far
left
or
right
of
its
swing,
and
the
points
are
carefully
matched,
a
tracery
diamond
shape
results.
On
the
other
hand,
if
rows
of
the
multiple
stitch
zigzag
are
sewn
with
the
points
falling
directly
under
each
other,
a
wavy
pattern
is
produced.
Flowers
may
also
be
produced.
Start
in
center;
pivot
at
points
shown.
Add
four
more
petals
if
desired.
