Multiple zigzag stitch
The multiple zigzag stitch is an ultra-versatile stitch. Use it for mending, inserting elastic or
simply as a decorative embellishment.
Repairing a tear
Set the machine to stitch No.12 and attach the satin stitch foot (not supplied).
•
•
Cut any loose threads from the torn area.
•
To reinforce the torn area, place interfacing or a small scrap of fabric (a similar fabric
and colour) underneath the tear.
•
Work from the right side to bring the edges of the tear together, and then sew them.
•
Use a hand sewing needle to pull the threads on the wrong side, then tie them off and
cut them.
•
Cut off the excess underlay.
Inserting elastic
It is easy to insert a piece of elastic using the multiple zigzag stitch. As these stitches are very
elastic, they are not prone to break when the elastic is stretched.
Set the machine to stitch No.12 and attach the satin stitch foot (not supplied).
•
•
If you are repairing a garment with a broken elastic, first remove the old elastic from the
garment, then press down.
•
Divide the elastic and the area of the garment in which the elastic will be sewn into four
parts. Place a pin at these four parts on the elastic and the garment.
•
Gently pull the elastic to evenly cover the fabric as you sew.
Manually sewing a buttonhole
1.

2.
Place the fabric under the buttonhole foot and lower the foot onto the fabric at the point
you would like to sew the buttonhole.
3.

release the foot control to stop (Fig. a).
