Create interesting texture and surface embellishment for your fabrics by sewing multiple rows of this stitch. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, allpurpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Be sure to use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using. Learn more about needles on the SINGER website. Use the multi-step zigzag stitch, along with a Cording Foot, to add interesting surface dimension to your projects. The Cording Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) has grooves on top that help guide thin yarns or cords as you stitch over them. The stitch "catches" the cords to secure them to the fabric surface. It is helpful to use a tear-away stabilizer underneath as you sew to help prevent fabric puckering. The multi-step zigzag sews 3 small stitches each time it goes left to right and right to left, making this stitch strong yet flexible. Use it to easily sew elastic onto fabric. For elastic that is 1/4" - 3/8" wide, place the elastic through the opening of the All-Purpose Foot. This will help keep the elastic from slipping from left to right as you sew. Hold the elastic from in front and in back of the presser foot, stretching the elastic as you do so. Use the multi-step zigzag stitch to attach ribbons and trims. It's an easy way to embellish projects. It is helpful to use an Open Toe Foot (additional accessory for some machine models), which provides a clear view of the sewing area. For machines with adjustable stitch length or stitch width, set the stitch length and stitch width according to the look you want for your project. The multi-step zigzag stitch can be used as a seam finish to help prevent fabric edges from unraveling. For machines with adjustable stitch length and stitch width, select a medium stitch length and width and sew along the raw edge of the fabric to finish the edge. A bartack is a series of stitches used to reinforce high-stress areas of garments such as belt loops, pockets, zippers, etc. The multi-step zigzag sews 3 small stitches each time it goes 11 of 91
