MENDING
To repair a straight
or three.cornered
tear,
position the tear under the needle in such a
way that the stitching catches both sides of
the tear. When
mending
a three-cornered
tear, stitch from each end to the center.
It is
well to use a piece of fabric under the tear for
reinforcement.
OVERCASTING
WITH
MENDING
STITCH
Three-step
zig-zag is a strong stitch because,
as its name
implies,
it takes
three
short
stitches
where
normal
zig-zag
takes
one.
For this reason it is highly recommended
for
overcasting,
i.e. finishing
a raw edge, on all
types of fabric.
