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 especial-
ly usefu] for:
-- mending
- sewing patches smoothly and
securely,
-- repairing, straight tears.
-- finishing seams.
Seam Finishing
Place the fabric under the presser foot
so that the edge will be slightly inside
the right hand side of the presser foot.
Guide the work so the right hand
stitches fall at the edge of the fabric.
Mending
Position the tear under the needle so
that the stitching will catch both sides.
