DECORATIVE EFFECTS
By sewing two adjacent rows of blind hem stitching
on lace or ribbon attractive decorations are created.
(Fig. 99) The stitch may be pivoted when the zigzag
bite swings to the left and the points matched in the
second row.
Another variation alternates the zigzag bites in the
center of the straight stitched segment. The stitch
may also be pivoted after two straight stitches to
form a snowflake-like pattern.

TOPSTITCH EFFECTS
A new kind of topstitching effect can be produced by
couching a strand or two of pearl cotton, embroidery
floss, or yarn with the blind hem stitch. Simply guide
the cord through the left groove of the embroidery
foot so that the blind hem stitch sews over the cord
and not through it. The straight stitches of the blind
hem stitch will bury themselves along the right side
of the cord and the small zigzag bite will swing over
the cord. The sewing thread should match as closely
as possible to blend into the fabric. (Fig. 100)

DECORATIVE STITCH COMBINATIONS
Combining rows of decorative stitch patterns is an
easy, inexpensive way to create your own braids and
trims for garments and household articles. Blending
or contrasting colors of thread may be used to com­
pliment the color of the fabric. Illustrations will
give some of the attractive stitch combinations.
