This is a strong stitch because as its name
implies, it makes three short stitches where
the normal zig-zag makes only one.
For this reason it is recommended for
overcasting all types of fabrics.
It is also ideal for bartacks, mending tears,
patching, and attaching at elastic.

Turn under the raw edge and press. Place
the fabric right side up so that the zigzag
part of the stitch sews just over the folded
edge, pulling the fabric in to form a shell
hem. Trim away excess fabric from the
backside, close to the stitching line.
Helpful Hint: For a pleasing
appearance experiment with different
width, length and tension settings.
NOTE: Mending a tear or overedging
as shown in illustration requires
manual adjustment of the length
control.
