MINDING
Zigzag stitching is well suited for all types of
household mending. Selector setting 30 provides
a firm, flexible bond for the repair of rents and
tears, and is ideal for the reinforcement and appH*
cation of elastic. Stitch length and are regu­
lated according to need.
Rent or Tear. Trim* away ragged edges. Place
an underlay to the wrong side of the tear for
reinforcement. Using the multiple stitch zigzag
(BQ) follow the line of the tear bringing the edges
together. Shorten the stitch length at ends and
corners to give extra strength.
