English 38 ZIGZAG STITCH 39 ZIGZAG STITCH Roll & Whip Heirloom Hems Attaching Hook Closures colorful images. To set the machine for thread painting, first disengage or cover the machine's feed teeth (see your machine's manual for details). Remove the presser foot and presser foot holder. Attach the Darning / Embroidery Foot (additional accessory for some machine models). Select the zigzag stitch. For machine models with adjustable stitch width, adjust the stitch width as desired for your project. Place batting or stabilizer under the fabric. Move the layers together manually as you stitch. For more information on thread painting and freemotion sewing, see this video. Heirloom sewing incorporates several different techniques, and one of these techniques is the Roll & Whip Hem, done using a zigzag stitch. This hem works on fine, lightweight fabrics like batiste. Thread the machine with lightweight thread. A size 9/70 or 11/80 needle (additional accessory for some machine models) is recommended. Set the machine for zigzag stitch. For machines with adjustable stitch length and stitch width, use with a width setting of at least 5.0mm and a length setting of approximately 2.0mm. Use an Open Toe Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) so that the area in front of the needle is unobstructed. Position the fabric so the right movement of the zigzag goes off the edge of the fabric. As the stitch then moves to the left, it "rolls" the fabric over, stitching it in place. Use the zigzag stitch to attach some larger sizes or styles of hook and eye closures. Disengage or cover the machine's feed teeth (see your machine manual). Select the zigzag stitch. For sewing larger sized hook & eye closures, attach the Button Sewing Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) which helps hold each side of the closure securely and provides a clearer view of the stitching area than does the All-Purpose Foot. Place the closure piece on the fabric underneath the foot. Turn the handwheel toward you slowly to check that the left and right movement of the needle clears the closure piece. If the needle doesn't clear both holes, adjust stitch width (if your machine has adjustable stitch width) accordingly until it does. Sew several stitches to attach. Bring thread tails to back of fabric and tie to secure. 9 of 81
