Stitches
of
personal
choice
Three-step
zig-zag
By
pressing
one
of
the
push-buttons
marked
with
arrows
on
the
control
panel
until
the
light
under
the
symbol
for
three-step
zig-zag
goes
on,
the
machine
will
automatically
be
set
for
a
stitch
which,
in
addition
to
that
indicated
by
the
sewing
guide,
is
also
suitable
for
sewing
terry
cloth,
darning
and
patching.
Sewing
terry
cloth
Terry
cloth
is
a
rather
loosely
woven
fabric
in
which
seams
easily
break
and
where
hems
are
frequently
thick
and
clumsy.
However,
with
three-step
zig-zag
you
can
sew a
strong
and
attractive
seam
if
you
sew
the
seam
allowance
to
the
garment,
right
through
the
fabric. Use
presser
foot
B.
Sew
the
garment
together
with
straight
stitch,
Trim
the
seams
so
that
they
do
not
fray.
Press
the
seam
allowance
flat
and
sew
the
edges
down
against
the
garment
on
the
wrong
side
with
three-step
zig-zag,
stitch
width 6.
Even
though
the
stitching
goes
right through
to
the
“right”
side
of
the
garment,
it
is
nearly
invisible
and
even
the
wrong
side
looks
neat.
The
stitching
will
also
be
considerably
stronger.
A
double
hem
in
terry
cloth
is
often
think
and
lumpy
but
if
you
fold
a
single
hem
and
sew
over
the
open
edge
with
three-step
zig-zag,
the
hem
will
be
smooth
and
flexible.
Necklines
and
armholes
are
finished
in
a
similar
way.
Mending
Three-step
zig-zag
is a
versatile
stitch
which
can
be
utilized
for
mending
and
darning
the
majority
of
mate
rials.
A
threadbare
spot
is
mended
by
sewing
back
and
forth
with
three-step
zig-zag.
This
method
is
called
Quick-
mend
and
is
the
quickest
and
easiest
method
of
darning.
Use
the
reverse
feed
button.
For
every
row
of
stitching,
guide
the
fabric
slightly
to
the
side
so
that
the
stitches
cover
the
entire
worn
area.
If
the
fabric
is
very
worn,
a
piece
of
fabric
or
lining
may
be
attached
to
the
reverse
side
of
the
material
as
reinforcement.
Use
gauze
as
rein
forcement
when
mending
tablecloths,
napkins
and
towels.
