3-Step Zigzag

The 3-step zigzag (sometimes called a multiple zigzag) is
used to finish raw seam edges. This stitch gives a flatter
edge finish than the regular zigzag. It is also used for
mending tears in fabric.

Place the fabric under the presser foot so the needle
swings off the fabric to the right or trim away any excess
fabric.

Mending a Tear

Pull torn edges together and fuse a piece of interfacing
slightly larger than the tear to the wrong side of the
garment.
Begin sewing above the tear. Stitch down the middle,
pulling edges together. Stop sewing just beyond end of
tear. Depending on the tear, you might need to stitch
area 2 or 3 times.
