ZIG-ZAG APPLICATIONS
LINGERIE SEAMS
Dainty lingerie seams are made durable
with zig-zag stitching. After straight stitching
seam on wrong side, press both seam allow-
ances in same direction. From right side,
top-stitch with a fine zig-zag setting (1½
width), letting needle alternately enter seam
line and seam thicknesses, l his finish is
particularly suitable for bias seams.
KNIT FABRIC SEAMS
A narrow zig-zag stitch is ideal for seaming
knit fabrics. It is particularly suitable for
underarm seams, or other seams where
elasticity and give are needed.
For curved or bias seams, where a stay is
needed to prevent undue stretching, this same
stitch can be used to apply seam tape.
