Zigzag stitching is well suited for all types of
household mending. Selector setting BQ provides
a firm, flexible bond for the repair of rents and
tears, and is ideal for the reinforcement and ap
plication of elastic. Stitch length and width are
reguiated according to need.
Rent or Tear.
Trim away ragged edges. Place
an underlay to the wrong side of the tear for
reinforcement. Using the multiple stitch zigzag
(BQ) follow the line of the tear bringing the
edges together. Shorten the stitch length at ends
and corners to give extra strength.
AppUcation of Elastic.
Elastic, such as used in
waist bands, must be
stretched as it is applied,
to insure fullness re
quired in the garment.
