Tear Mended with Multi-Stitch Zig-Zag

Applying Facing Finish

Finishes for Hems and Facings

Hem and facing edges in knit and stretch

fabrics will be less apt to press through and

mark when given a flat edge-finish. Edge

finishing with the multi-stitch zig-zag elimi

nates the bulk of turned-in edges and retains

fabric flexibility.
