Multi-Stitch Zigzag, Shell Stitch, Edge-Joining Stitch - Singer 8770 CURVY Instruction Manual

MULTI-STITCH ZIGZAG
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
:Thread tension control - AUTO
This is a strong stitch because as its name implies, it makes
three short stitches where the normal zig-zag makes only one.
For this reason it is recommended for overcasting nearly all
types of fabrics.
It is also ideal for bartacks, mending tears, patching, sewing
towelling, patch-work and attaching flat elastic.
NOTE: Mending a tear or overedging as shown in
illustration requires manual adjustment of the length
control.
SHELL STITCH
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
:Thread tension control - AUTO
Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right
side up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the
folded edge, pulling the fabric in to form a shell hem. Trim
away excess fabric close to the stitching line.
Helpful Hint: For a variety in appearance experiment
with different width, length and tension settings.
EDGE-JOINING STITCH
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
:Thread tension control - AUTO
This is a popular decorative stitch (used in sleeves or fronts of
blouses and dresses). To attach two separate pieces of fabric
together, leave a little space in between.
To prepare the fabric: Fold under the seam allowances on the
cut edges, and press. Baste folded edges to tissue paper with
about 1/8" (0.3 cm) space between. Stitch over the 1/8" (0.3
cm) allowance, just catching the fabric fold on both sides with
needle. Remove bastings and paper; press.
