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 useful for:
—
mending
—
sewing patches smoothly and
securely.
repairing straight tears.
—
finishing seams.
