Three-step zigzag
Overcasting
Three-step zigzag is suitable for
overcasting most fabrics. Trim the
edges of the fabric before over-
casting.
Make sure that the needle sews over
the edge of the fabric. Place the
fabric according to the presser foot
(see picture).
Sewing terry cloth
Terry cloth is a rather loosely woven
fabric in which seams easily break.
Sew the garment together with
straight stitch. Trim the seams and
press the seam allowance flat and
sew the edges down against the
garment on the wrong side with
three-step zig-zag.
Even though the stitching goes right
through to the ”right” side of the
garment, it is nearly invisible and
even the wrong side looks neat. The
stitching will also be considerably
stronger.
Necklines and armholes are finished
in a similar way.
Three-step zig-zag , can be
utilized for mending and darning. A
threadbare spot is mended by
sewing back and forth with three-
step zig-zag.
Use the reverse feed button
. For
every row of stitching, guide the
fabric slightly to the side. If the
fabric is very worn, a piece of fabric
or lining may be attached to the
reverse side of the material as
reinforcement.
