The stitch regulator should be adjusted for the small­
est possible stitch, while the width of bight should
be set at the largest possible bight. When sewing on
a patch do not keep too close to the edge of the hole.
Overedge the corners of the patch twice, in order to
prevent the material from tearing. After the patch is
edged carefully cut away the overlapping, edges of
the material, that is, above the edge of the material
of the patch and below the repaired part of the piece
of linen.
For best results in performing this work as well as for
the following operations using the small zig zag and
cording foot (No. 5, Fig. 3) or the foot for curved
cording and appliqué work (No. 2, Fig. 4).
