Multi-Stitch Zigzag; Shell Stitch - Singer 7426 Manuel D'instruction

MULTI-STITCH ZIGZAG

SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
:Thread tension control - AUTO
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 highly recommended for overcasting all
types of fabrics.
It is also ideal for bartacks, mending tears, patching, sewing
towelling, patch-work and attaching flat elastic.
NOTE: Mending a tear or overedging as shown in
illustration requires manual adjustment of the length
control.

SHELL STITCH

SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
:Thread tension control - AUTO
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 close to the stitching line.
Helpful Hint: For a pleasing appearance experiment with
different width, length and tension settings.
