VARIOUS USES:
• Stitch length should depend on the type of fabric being used.
Short stitch length for flat or woven fabrics and longer for dense
fabrics and knits.
• Mending a tear - guide the tear along the center of the pressure
foot so that stitches catch evenly on both sides. A reinforcing
fabric (interfacing) may be used underneath if desired.
• Use the same technique to make a butted seam for interfacing
such as in the inside of a collar.
• Three step zigzag for overcasting provides a smoother edge than
the regular zigzag. Length-1 Width 1-1/2.
• Understitching facings with the three step zigzag provides less bulk
and facings lie flat on the inside of garments.
• Patches are applied more permenantly with the three step zigzag.
Make patches round where possible or overlap corner stitching to
reinforce corners.
