SECTION 5. LEARN THE STITCHES

The mending or multiple zigzag is a comb-
nation zigzag and straight stitch. Use the
mending everywhere you would use the

basic zigzag stitch. It has more strength,
elasticity, and is flatter than a regular zigzag.

The mending stitch is especially useful for:

—— sewing patches smoothly and securely.
“— repairing straight tsars.

~ finishing seams on terrycloth.
---- sewing bar tacks for belt loops and

drapery pleats.

*- position the tear under the needle so that the stitching will catch bath sides.

Cornered - stitch from each

end

to the center.

Use a

piece of fabric

under

the tear to reinforce your mending.
