To repair a straight or three.cornered tear, position the tear under the needle in such a way that the stitching catches both sides of the tear. When mending a three-cornered tear, stitch from each end to the center. It is well to use a piece of fabric under the tear for reinforcement.

OVERCASTING WITH MENDING STITCH

Three-step zig-zag is a strong stitch because, as its name implies, it takes three short stitches where normal zig-zag takes one. For this reason it is highly recommended for overcasting, i.e. finishing a raw edge, on all types of fabric.
