MULTI-STITCH ZIG-ZAG
The multi-stitch zig-zag is an extremely versatile stitch. Use it to mend, join or reinforce
without bulk. With this stitch you may attach elastic and stretch lace, construct lingerie
and swimsuits and finish seams. There are many other useful applications for the multi­
stitch zig-zag.
