MULTI-STITCH ZIGZAG SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot :Thread tension control - AUTO This is a strong stitch because as its name implies, it makes three short stitches where the normal zig-zag makes only one. For this reason it is recommended for overcasting nearly all types of fabrics. It is also ideal for bartacks, mending tears, patching, sewing towelling, patch-work and attaching flat elastic. NOTE: Mending a tear or overedging as shown in illustration requires manual adjustment of the length control. SHELL STITCH (Mirror image) SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot :Thread tension control - AUTO Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right side up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the folded edge, pulling the fabric in to form a shell hem. Trim away excess fabric close to the stitching line. Helpful Hint: For a variety in appearance experiment with different width, length and tension settings. 48
