ZIGZAG SEWING
Pattern selector position

initials, patterns, appliqué, etc.
The zigzag stitch is a universal stitch. The
satin stitch pattern has short tense stitches
which can be used for sewing.
AUTOMATIC EMBROIDERY
N
O P
These stitches have a wi de range of
decorative and utility applications and are
particularl y suitable for woven fabrics.
The Scallop stit ch (N) is ideal for edging
collars, cuffs, tablecloths, serviettes etc. For
all the stitches, the stitch lengt h can be
reduced to achieve a close “satin st itch” if
required.
With satin stitch a paper backing, will
improve the result.
