Multi-Stitch Zigzag; Picot Hem Stitch; Sewing On A Button - Singer 398054 Operation And Safety Notes

MULTI-STITCH ZIGZAG

ISETTINGS: Presser foot - All Purpose Foot
(J) Thread tension control – 4
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 highly recommended for
overcasting all types of fabrics.
It is also ideal for bartacks, mending tears,
patching, patch-work and attaching flat elastic.
NOTE: Mending a tear or overedging as
shown in illustration requires manual ad-
justment of the length control.

PICOT HEM STITCH

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 pleasing appearance
experiment with different width, length and
tension settings.

Position your fabric and button under the
presser foot. Lower presser foot. Turn the
handwheel to make sure needle clears both
left and right openings of button. Adjust width
if required. Sew 10 stitches across.
When attaching four-hole buttons, first sew
the two holes closest to you. Then, slide the
button so that the needle goes into the two
holes toward the rear of the sewing machine,
and then sew them in the same way.
Helpful Hint: To secure thread, pull both threads
to the backside of the fabric and tie together.
