Sewn-Out Zigzag

The sewn zigzag is used to finish seams on synthetics and other fabrics that tend to pucker. The stitch is also excellent for darning and mending tears, as well as for attaching elastic tape.

  1. Fit the zigzag foot.
  2. Set the stitch pattern selector knob to C.
  3. Set the stitch length and stitch width according to the stitch table.

For Finishing:

  1. Position the fabric so that the stitch is sewn at a distance of 1.5 cm from the edge of the fabric.
  2. Sew the seam.
  3. Trim the seam allowance after sewing. Be careful not to cut the stitches.

For Sewing on Elastic Tape:

  1. Pin the elastic tape to the left-hand side of the fabric. When doing so, stretch the tape and ensure that it is positioned evenly on the fabric.
  3. To attach the elastic tape, pull it apart along the length of the gathered fabric.
