The multiple zigzag stitch is much stronger than the
normal zigzag stitch because it binds the fabric
with three stitches. It is therefore suitable for the
tidying and edging of all kinds of fabrics. It is also
ideal for bar tacking, for the reinforcement of worn
points, for the application of patches, sewing on
elastic bands, for sewing household textiles and for
quilting.
Note: A manual adjustment of the stitch length is
necessary for darning or finishing as shown in the
figure.

Fold over the fabric edge and iron. Push the fabric
with the right side facing upwards under the
presser foot so that the tip of the stitch penetrates
just over the folded edge and pulls the fabric into a
shell shape. Trim the projecting fabric along the
seam.
Tip: For creative results, you can experiment
with different stitch widths and lengths as well as
thread tensions.
