GATHERING 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.

APPLICATIONS OF THE MULTIPLE STITCH ZIGZAG

OVERCASTING

The

multiple

stitch

zigzag

is

an

excellent

choice

for

overcasting.

It

keeps

the

fabric

flat

and

prevents

raveling.

For

most

fabrics,

this

stitch

is

better than the zigzag stitch for overcasting.

The stitch should fall right at the raw edge of the

fabric.

Feed

the

fabric

under

the

presser

foot

by

guiding

the raw

edge along the right hand side of

the hole

in

the presser foot.

PATCHING

The

multiple

stitch

zigzag

is

an

excellent

stitch

for

patching.

It

is

stronger

than

the

zigzag

and

the

tiny

stitches

bury

into

the

fabric

to

make

an

almost

invisible

stitch

when

using

matching

thread.

Place the patch over the right side of the worn or

damaged

area.

Sew

around

the

patch

with

the

multiple

stitch

zigzag

letting

the

last

stitch

to

the

right

overcast

the

edge

of

the

patch.

When

turn­

ing

corners

leave

the

needle

in

the

fabric

at

the

corner.

Usually

this

will

be

the

furthest

stitch

to

the

right

or

left.

In

this

way,

the

corners

are

doubly

stitched

and

very

strong.

When

the

patch

is

stitched

in

place,

trim

away

the

excess

worn

fabric on the wrong side of the patch.

Note: Try Smocking Stitch for knits.
