3-step zig-zag
Sewing on lace and elastic, darning, mending,
reinforcing edges.
Set the machine as illustrated. Pattern selector on "E".
Place patch in position. The stitch length can be
shortened to produce very close stitches. (1)
When mending tears, it is advisable to use a piece of
backing fabric to reinforce. The stitch density can be
varied by adjusting the stitch length. First sew over
the center and then overlap on both sides. Depending
on the type of fabric and damage, sew between 3 and
5 rows. (2)
Sewing elastic
1. Place the elastic on the fabric.
2. As you sew, stretch the elastic both in the front and behind the
presser foot as shown in fig. (3).
Joining fabric
The elastic stitch can be used to join two pieces of fabric together
and is very effective when sewing knitted fabrics. If nylon thread is
used, the stitch will not be visible.
1. Place the edges of the two pieces of fabric together and center
them under the presser foot.
2. Sew them together using the elastic stitch taking care to keep the
two fabric edges close together as shown in fig. (4).
