DROOl Procedure Fold fabric to mark seamline or trace seamline on fabric. Sew first row. Guide fabric so that wing needle stitches along traced line. At the end of the seam, turn fabric half a turn and sew second row. Guide fabric in such a way that wing needle penetrates the needle holes it has made and enlarged pre viously.

Exciting decorative effects may be obtained by using van-colored embroidery and darning threads. 4 Zigzag Hemstitching Insert fashion disc A.
