Seaming Knits
The narrow zigzag can be used
in seams of firm knits for
added strength. After sewing,
open
seam
and
press
flat.
Tinyzigzag stitches can hardly
be seen and the seam will give
when stretched.
G athering Over Cord
Ordinary
gathering
with
a
basting
stitch
often
breaks
while
pulling
in
fullness.
A
small zigzag across a cord such
as crochet thread or carpet
thread, gives a much stronger
cord
for
gathering
fullness
into fabrics. Once the gathers
have been stitched in place,
the cord can be pulled out in
order to eliminate bulk.
Lace Applications
Attaching laces or trims adds a
special
touch
to
lingerie,
dresses, or linens. Pin or baste
laces in place easing or mitering
corners
where
necessary.
A
straight edge lace or braid has a
convenient line to follow when
sewing. When using a scalloped
edged lace follow the design of
the lace for an almost invisible
application.
