THREE STEP ZIG-ZAG
The three step zig-zag stitch has a wide range of sewing applications, such as
patching, darning, repairing tears, mending, sewing on elastic and lace, oversew
ing edges etc. on a wide range of fabrics.
The illustration shows patching, where the stitches are to the edge of the patch
and a tear, where the stitches go firstly over the centre of the tear and then to
either side but overlapping slighly on the first row.
The stitch length can be reduced until the stitches are very close together. This
will give a stronger finish for most repairing operations.
