Seaming Knits
The narrow zigzag can be used
in seams of firm knits for
added strength. After sewing,
open seam and press flat.
Tinyzigzag stitches can hardly
be seen and the seam will give
when stretched.
G athering Over Cord
Ordinary gathering with a
basting stitch often breaks
while pulling in fullness. A
small zigzag across a cord such
as crochet thread or carpet
thread, gives a much stronger
cord for gathering fullness
into fabrics. Once the gathers
have been stitched in place,
the cord can be pulled out in
order to eliminate bulk.
Lace Applications
Attaching laces or trims adds a
special touch to lingerie,
dresses, or linens. Pin or baste
laces in place easing or mitering
corners where necessary. A
straight edge lace or braid has a
convenient line to follow when
sewing. When using a scalloped
edged lace follow the design of
the lace for an almost invisible
application.
