linen and twilled fabrics.

For this type of work use

an ordinary

Draw several threads out of

the

fabric.

Set

machine for a

medium-wide zigzag

stitch and sew along both

edges of the strip,

making sure that “zigs” and

in both

rows are

exactly

opposite

each other.

this

line

—— and

you will

have
