It's an easy way to embellish projects. It is helpful to use an Open Toe Foot (additional accessory for some machine models), which provides a clear view of the sewing area. For machines with adjustable stitch length or stitch width, set the stitch length and stitch width according to the look you want for your project. The multi-step zigzag stitch can be used as a seam finish to help prevent fabric edges from unraveling. For machines with adjustable stitch length and stitch width, select a medium stitch length and width and sew along the raw edge of the fabric to finish the edge. A bartack is a series of stitches used to reinforce highstress areas of garments such as belt loops, pockets, zippers, etc. The multi-step zigzag sews 3 small stitches each time it goes left to right and right to left. When stitch length is set to "0", or if the machine's feed teeth are either covered or disengaged, the stitch can be used to sew bartacks, Two fabrics can be joined together using a multi-step zigzag stitch. First, turn under and press the edge of both fabrics. An Edge Joining Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) can be used a a guide for the fabrics. Place the folded edges next to each other, one on each side of the foot's center guide, and place a piece of lightweight stabilizer underneath the area where they join. Select the multi-step zigzag stitch. For machines with adjustable stitch length or stitch width, select the length and width setting you want for your project. Sew across the area where the fabrics join, so the left movement of the needle sews on the left fabric, and the right movement of the needle sews on the right fabric. Remove the stabilizer when finished. Try using a topstitching thread and Topstitching Needle (additional accessory for some machine models) for a bolder appearance to the stitches. Use the multi-step zigzag stitch to join pieces of batting to create a larger batting piece. It's great for creating a custom sized quilt or other quilted projects, and also a great way to use up smaller batting leftovers. The multistep zigzag sews 3 small stitches each time it goes left to right and right to left, which helps make the join secure. Use the widest stitch width possible for maximum coverage. Use a Blind Hem Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) in conjuction with your machine's blind hem stitch to sew hems that are virtually invisible from the right side of the fabirc. This blind hem stitch is designed for use with woven (non-stretch) fabrics. For information how how to sew a blind hem, see this video. 10 of 23
