The Stitch and Its Uses

The three-step zigzag is a combination zigzag and straight stitch. You may use

the three-step zigzag everywhere you would use the basic zigzag stitch. It

has more strength, elasticity, and is flatter than a regular zigzag,

The three-step zigzag stitch is especial- ly usefu] for:

--mending

- sewing patches smoothly and securely,

--repairing, straight tears.

--finishing seams.

Seam Finishing

Place the fabric under the presser foot so that the edge will be slightly inside the right hand side of the presser foot.

Guide the work so the right hand stitches fall at the edge of the fabric.

Mending

Position the tear under the needle so that the stitching will catch both sides.
