Overcasting
The
multiple
stitch
zigzag
is
an
excellent
choice
for
overcasting.
(Fig.97)
It
keeps
the
fabric
flat
and
prevents
raveling.
For
most
fabrics, this stitch is better than the zigzag
stitch for overcasting.
The stitch should fall right at the raw edge of
the fabric. Feed the fabric under the presser
foot by guiding the raw edge along the right
hand side of the hole in the presser foot.
Patching
The
multiple
stitch
zigzag
is
an
excellent
stitch
for
patching.
It
is
stronger
than
the
zigzag
and
the
tiny
stitches
bury
into
the
fabric to make an almost invisible stitch when
using matching thread.
Place the patch over the right side of the worn
or damaged area. Sew around the patch with
the multiple stitch zigzag letting the last stitch
to the right overcast the edge of the patch.
(Fig.98) When turning comers leave the needle
in the fabric at the comer. (Fig.99) Usually
this will be the furthest stitch to the right or
left.
In
this
way,
the
eomers
are
doubly
stitched and very strong. When the patch is
stitched in place, trim away the excess worn
fabric on the wrong side of the patch. (Fig.

Mending a Tear or Instant Darning
The multiple stitch zigzag provides a strong
and easy repair for tom garments. It gives an
almost invisible mend, especially when a fine
darning thread is used.
To mend a tear, hold the tom edges close
together
and
stitch
down
the
middle.
(Fig.
101) 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
lightweight
interfacing
or
cotton
batiste
under
the
tear
for
reinforce
ment.
