VI. SPECIAL WORK WITH THE
ZIG ZAG STITCH
Raised Zig Zag Seams (Fig. 45)
Set the under thread tension somewhat tighter than
normal and use embroidery cotton No. 30 for upper
threading. The stitch regulator is set either almost
at 0 or between V
2
and 1 mm.
(V32 to ^64”) according to the
ajp ^ effect desired. The stitching
^ will then either completely
cover the material, as shown
on the left of the illustration,
or it will appear as shown
on the right in the illustra­
tion. When stitching very
light material it is advisable
to lay paper under the work
i'-' to prevent it from being
puckered owing to the great
width of bight. For this type
of work use foot No. 4,

Straight and Curved
Corded Seams (Fig. 46)
Straight and Curved Corded Seams (Fig. 46)
The corded seam is produced by over seaming a
thread with zig zag stitches. For straight cording, use
cording foot No. 5, Fig. 3 and for curved cording, use
cording foot No. 2, Fig. 4, for the first of which a hole
is provided through which the thread is passed. For
cording, the under thread tension must be somewhat
tighter than for ordinary sewing.
