the needle taking one stitch into the fabric and the other over its edge. You may over

Two similar pieces of fabric which do not ravel easily may be butted together and
loined with zigzag stitches. Worn bed sheets may be mended this way. Cut out worn
center strip. Place the selvaged edges of the remaining pieces of sheet under the sewing
foot so that the abutted edges are centered under the needle, Join them with close,
wide zigzag stitches. Hem raw edges of sheet.
