Mending
Three-step zig-zag is a versatile stitch which can be
utilized for mending and darning the majority of mate­
rials. Use presser foot A. The thread should be the same
color as the fabric. The setting should be adapted to the
material. Stitch length 0.5-1.
When mending a tear, place the edges of the fabric
together and sew them together with three-step zig-zag.
If necessary, reinforce the tear with a piece of fabric on
the reverse side and sew back and forth once or twice.
A patch is sewn on around all edges with three-step
zig-zag and relatively close stitching. By sewing round
the patch several times, the mend will be stronger. Use
the lower needle stop position when turning corners.

guide the fabric slightly to the side so that the stitches
cover the entire worn area. If the fabric is very worn a

side of the material as reinforcement. Use gauze as rein­
forcement when mending table-cloths, napkins and
towels.
