MENDING A TEAR OR INSTANT
DARNING
The multiple stitch zigzag provides a strong and
easy repair for torn garments. It gives an almost
invisible mend, especially when a fine darning
thread is used.
To mend a tear, hold the torn edges close
together and stitch down the middle.
If the tear is guided under the slot in the middle
of the presser foot, stitching will be equal on
both sides. If necessary, sew again on either side
of the first row of stitching making sure the
needle catches the stitch in the center. With very
worn or frayed fabric, place a piece of light­
weight interfacing or cotton batiste under the
tear for reinforcement.
Note: Try Smocking Stitch for knits.
LACE APPLICATIONS
Attaching laces or trims adds a special touch to
lingerie, dresses, or linens. Pin or baste laces in
place easing or mitering corners where neces­
sary.
A straight edged lace or braid has a convenient
line to follow when sewing. When using a
scalloped edged lace follow the design of the
lace for an almost invisible application.
Note: Try Multiple Stitch Zigzag, Overlock,
Elastic Edge Stitch, Smocking stitch.
Stretch Overlock or Rick-Rack for differ­
ent effects.
