Honey comb stitch
Triple zigzag stitch ( )
33
The honey comb stitch is both decorative and
usable in manifold ways, e.g. for sewing laces or
elastic bands or for sewing stretch and other
elastic material.
As for honey comb stitching, be careful of the
following:
Prepare the material to be sewed by pre-ruffling
it evenly (see notes on page 41).
Place a narrow stripe of fabric under the ruffling
and proceed sewing it with the honey comb stitch.
Complete your honey comb work before
inserting the decorated part into the complete
garment.

If you want to sew stretch fabrics, this stitch
type will make it possible to avoid any thread
breaking.
It is also suitable for seams which will be subject
to higher loads.
The seam is three times as strong as a normal
seam and it is also significantly more
stretchable. Hence the seam can be stretched
together with the fabric without risking any
thread break - as shown.
Note:
In case of very light fabrics, the same effect
can be achieved by winding the bobbin with
an elastic thread.
Note:
The stitch is suitable for sewing patches of
cloth, also of leather, onto jeans.
