3-Step Zigzag
03
The 3-step zigzag (sometimes called a multiple zig-
zag) is used to finish raw seam edges on synthetics
and other fabrics that tend to pucker. This stitch
gives a flatter edge finish than the regular zigzag
and is excellent for darning and mending tears in
fabric.
Place the fabric under the presser foot so the needle
swings off the fabric to the right.
Mending a Tear
03
Pull torn edges together and fuse a piece of interfac-
ing slightly larger than the tear to the wrong side of
the garment.
Decrease stitch length to 0.6 – 0.8.
Begin sewing above the tear. Stitch down the middle,
pulling edges together. Stop sewing just beyond end
of tear. Depending on the tear, you might need to
stitch area 2 or 3 times.
