wovens and knits.
• Use narrow width of zigzag as a heavy duty
triple stitch for seams.
• Use medium and wide widths of zigzag for
overcasting edges of seams, facings and
hems of heavier weight fabrics such as
terrycloth, and for attaching elastic. Use
also for decorative stitching.
• Guide your fabric from the front. Do not
pull or push as it will cause poor stitching.
