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.
