Be sure to use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using, and stabilizer to help support the fabric and stitches. Learn more about needles and stabilizer on the SINGER website. This stitch can be used to reinforce seams of heavy woven fabrics, such as denim, canvas, and duck cloth. The stitch is stronger than a regular straight stitch becuase it sews the same stitch three times - forward, backward and forward again. Use a SINGER size 16 or size 18 needle for sewing these types of heavyweight fabrics. More information about needles can be found on the SINGER website. Use this stitch to embellish your sewing projects with a single row, multiple rows, or even in combination with other decorative stitches. For machine models with adjustable stitch length and/or stitch width, try various stitch length and/or width adjustments to change the look of the stitch as desired. It may be helpful to use a Satin Stitch Foot (additional accessory for some machine models)for denser stitch settings, as this foot has a groove on the underside to allow stitches to pass freely underneath. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, all-purpose 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, and stabilizer to help support the fabric and stitches. Learn more about needles and stabilizer on the SINGER website. Use the Reinforced Zigzag Stitch to add interesting surface dimension to your projects by stitching over narrow ribbons or cords. It is helpful to use an Open Toe Foot (additional accessory for some machine models). As you sew, the stitch "catches" the cord to secure to the fabric surface. Use a tear-away stabilizer underneath as you sew to help prevent the dense stitches from puckering the fabric. Insert elastic to your projects easily by sewing over the elastic with the Honeycomb stitch. For elastic that is 1/4" - 3/8" wide, place the elastic through the opening of the All-Purpose Foot. This will help keep the elastic from slipping from 18 of 88
