REINFORCED ZIGZAG STITCH
The reinforced zigzag stitch, is primarily used
for a decorative topstitch. 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 sewing high
stress seams.
DOUBLE OVERLOCK STITCH
The Double overlock stitch has three main
uses. It is perfect for attaching flat elastic, for
overcasting, and for seaming and overcasting
in one operation. It is primarily used on slightly
stretch fabrics and non-stretch fabrics such
as linen, tweed, and medium to heavy-weight
cotton.
CRISS-CROSS STITCH
Used to sew and finish stretch fabrics or for
decoration especially of borders.
ENTREDEUX STITCH
Useful for decorative stitching on borders and
for use in heirloom sewing. The Entredeux
stitch is most often sewn with a Wing Needle
to create holes in the stitch pattern.
Helpful Hint: A slight + adjustment of the tension
will increase the size of the hole when using a
Wing Needle.
