STRETCH
STITCHING (THREE-STEP ZIG-ZAG)
(MODEL
336 BH ONLY)
Because
of the tendency for some
modern synthetic fabrics
(such as
Criprplene, etc) to stretch
and break the stitching, a special Cam
has been
developed (Double
Cam No, 2) which has the
effect of producing small
stitches close together
in the course of it forming
a normal zig-zag stitch.
Simply insert this Cam
as described on Page 25 and proceed to
sew in the
normal
way.
