SINGER 1050 - Manual (Page 50)

stitch usage: functional and decorative
Many stitches on your new machine have both functional and
decorative applications. The foiiowing pages inciude exampies
to illustrate the versatility of these stitches. Though many
stitches can perform in a given application, to avoid repetition
only one stitch has been used in each example. We, there­
fore, hope that the examples provided will help you to use
your own creative talents.

Arrowhead Stitch
The arrowhead stitch provides a decorative and secure finish on fashion seams or darts that end on the outside
of a garment, at the top of pleats, and at the ends of pockets in tailored clothes. Individual pattern units reinforce
points of strain. Use the arrowhead stitch on pocket corners in place of bar tacks or in a border design for an
effective decorative touch.
