THREE-STEP ZIGZAG
Settings: Presser foot - Utility Foot,
Thread tension dial - S - E
This is a strong stitch since, 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 mending tears, applying patches and
inserting elastic.
BRIDGING
Settings: Presser foot - Satin Stitch Foot,
Thread tension dial - S - E
This is a popular decorative stitch (used in sleeves or fronts
of blouses and dresses). To attach two separate pieces of
fabric together, leave a little space in between.
To prepare the fabric:
Fold under the seam allowances on the cut edges, and
press. Baste folded edges to light weight tear-away stabilizer
with about 1/8" (0.3 cm) space between. Stitch over the
1/8" (3 mm) allowance, just catching the fabric fold on
both sides with needle. Remove bastings and stabilizer;
press.
