ENTREDEUX STITCH
Useful for decorative stitching on borders and for use in
heirloom sewing. The Entredeux stitch is most often sewn
with a Wing Needle (Singer Style 2040) to create holes in the
stitch pattern.
Helpful hint: A slight + adjustment of the tension
will increase the size of the hole when using a wing
needle.
DECORATIVE PATTERNS
* Always practice on a scrap of the actual fabric from your
project.
* Before starting to sew, check that there is enough thread
wound onto the bobbin to make sure that the thread will not
run out during sewing.
* Slightly loosen top thread tension.

IDEAS ON DESIGN STITCHING
Crescent pattern on collar
This is an ideal decorative stitch for the sleeves and collars of
ladies’ and children’s clothes, and also for table linen edges.
When using this stitch pattern for table linen edges, first sew
the stitch and then trim the edge of the fabric along the edge
of the stitch. Be careful not to cut the stitch at this time.
Helpful hint: For a more pleasing appearance
experiment with a slightly lower (-) tension setting.
CONTINUOUS PATTERNS
These are the optimum patterns for sewing continuous
patterns often seen on borders or hems of garments and
home decorating projects. Use whichever patterns suit your
preference.

SEWING ON A BUTTON
Position your fabric and button under the presser foot. Lower
presser foot. Turn the handwheel to make sure needle clears
both left and right openings of button. Adjust width if required.
Sew 10 stitches.
If a button shank is required, place a darning needle on top of
the button and sew over top of it as illustrated.
