THREE STEP ZIG-ZAG

The three step zig-zag stitch has a wide range of sewing applications, such as patching, darning, repairing tears, mending, sewing on elastic and lace, oversew ing edges etc. on a wide range of fabrics.

The illustration shows patching, where the stitches are to the edge of the patch and a tear, where the stitches go firstly over the centre of the tear and then to either side but overlapping slighly on the first row.

The stitch length can be reduced until the stitches are very close together. This

will give a stronger finish for most repairing operations.
