THREE
STEP ZIGZAG
The three
step
zig-zag
stitch has
a
wide range
of sewing
applications,
such as
patching,
darning,
repairing
tears, mending,
sewing
on elastic
and
lace,
oversew
ing edges
etc.
on
a wide
range of fabrics.
The illustration
shows patching,
where
the
stitches are
to the edge of
the
patch
and
a
tear,
where the
stitches go
firstly over
the
centre
of
the
tear and
then
to
either side but overlapping
slighly
on
the first
row.
The
stitch length can be reduced
until the
stitches are
very close
together. This
will
give
a
stronger
finish for
most
repairing
operations.
