Select the zigzag stitch. For machines with adjustable stitch length and 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. Holes, rips or tears in fabric can be repaired easily with the multi-step zigzag stitch. This stitch sews 3 small stitches each time it moves left to right and right to left. For machines with adjustable stitch length and stitch width, set the machine for a wide stitch width and shorter stitch length setting. Place a small piece of fabric (that blends well with the main fabric) underneath the hole or tear. Sew the stitch arcoss the tear. Repeat until the hole or tear is sufficiently covered with stitches. The multi-step zigzag sews 3 small stitches each time it goes left to right and right to left, which can create a unique decorative element. Create interesting texture and surface embellishment for your fabrics by sewing multiple rows of this stitch. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, allpurpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Be sure to use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using. Learn more about needles on the SINGER website. Use the multi-step zigzag stitch, along with a Cording Foot, to add interesting surface dimension to your projects. The Cording Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) has grooves on top that help guide thin yarns or cords as you stitch over them. The stitch "catches" the cords to secure them to the fabric surface. It is helpful to use a tear-away stabilizer underneath as you sew to help prevent fabric puckering.
