• Zig-Zag Plate

When it is not practical to overedge a seam
because of fabric construction, a mock over­
edge finish can be applied. This finish is ap­
propriate for bulky knits, stretchy sweater
knits, fine tricots, and fabrics that curl or fray.
Procedure;
• Make a test sample to check machine ad­
justments, including pressure setting,
before beginning garment construction.
• Baste the garment together on the seam line
and fit in the usual way.
• After making any necessary adjustments,
place seam under the presser foot. Stitch so
that the stitches on the left side of the pat­
tern penetrate the basted seam line.
• Press after stitching and trim away excess
fabric to produce a narrow seam edge.
When the seam supports the garment, omit
the trimming step.
FINISHES FOR HEMS AND FACINGS
Hems and facing edges in knit and stretch
fabrics will be less apt to press through and
mark when given a flat edge finish. Edge
finishing with the multi-stitch zig-zag stitch
and honeycomb stitch, eliminates the bulk of
turned-in fabric edges and retains fabric flex­
ibility. Make a test sample to determine the
best stitch for your fabric. Place stitching
about 1/8-inch from hem or facing edge.
Press after stitching and trim away excess
fabric close to the stitching line.
