Zig-zag stitch
Zig-zag is primarily used for a decorative top-
stitch. It is ideal for edging neck-bands, armholes,
sleeves and hems. When manually adjusted to a
very narrow width it also can be used for seaming
in areas of great stress.
Over edge stitch
This is the same type stitch used by the g a r m e n t
industry in making sport swear - it forms and
finishes the seam in one operation.
It is very effective for use in repairing raw or
worn edges of garments.
Slant over edge stitch
Seams and overcasts in one operation to produce
a narrow, supple seam, particularly suited to
swimwear, sportswear, T-shirts, babywear in
stretch nylon, stretch toweling, jersey and cotton
jersey.
