MULTI-STITCH
ZIGZAG

This is a strong stitch because
as its name implies, it makes
three short stitches where the normal zig-zag makes only one.
For this reason it is recommended
for overcasting
all types of
fabrics.
It is also ideal for bartacks,
mending
tears, patching,
and
attaching flat elastic.
I NOTE:
Mending
a tear or overedging
as shown
in
illustration
requires
manual adjustment
of the length
control.

:Thread tension control- AUTO
Turn under the raw edge and press.
Place the fabric
right
side up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the
folded edge, pulling the fabric
in to form a shell hem. Trim
away excess fabric from the backside,
close to the stitching
line.

Hint:
For a pleasing
appearance
experiment
with different width, length and tension settings.
