The Stitch and Its Uses

The three-step zigzag is a combination

zigzag and straight stitch. You may use
the three-step zigzag everywhere you

would use the basic zigzag stitch. It

has more strength, elasticity, and is

flatter than a regular zigzag.
The three-step zigzag stitch is especial-

ly useM for:

— mending

— sewing patches smoothly and

securely.

— repairing straight tears.

— finishing seams.

NOTE; Be sure to slide back the

selector release to the "SEW"

position.

SECTIONS. LEARN THE STITCHES

Seam Finishing

Place the fabric under the presser foot

so that the edge will be slightly inside
the right hand side of the presser foot

Guide the work so the right hand

stitches fall at the edge of the fabric.

Mending

Position the tear under the needle so

that the stitching will catch both sides.
