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 useM for:
— mending
— sewing patches smoothly and
securely.
— repairing straight tears.
— finishing seams.
NOTE; Be sure to slide back the
selector release to the "SEW"
position.

Seam Finishing
Place the fabric under the presser foot

stitches fall at the edge of the fabric.
Mending

that the stitching will catch both sides.
