Sew the garment together leaving 5/8” to 3/4” seam allowance. Trim the seams so that they do not fray. Fold back the seam allowances and sew the edges down against the garment with three-step zig-zag. Even though the stitching goes right through to the “right” side of the garment, it is almost invisible. When hemming garments in terry cloth, it is only necessary to turn the hem once and sew with three-step zig-zag. Neck lines and armholes are finished in a simi lar manner. Turn the hem once and sew down with three-step zig-zag. 29 Mending Three-step zig-zag is a versatile stitch which can be utilized for mending and darning the majority of materials. It is naturally better if the thread is of the same colour as the fabric. The adjustment should be adapted to the material. When mending a tear, bring the edges of the fabric together and sew them together with three-step zig-zag. If necessary, reinforce the tear with a piece of fabric on the reverse side and sew back and forth once or twice. A patch is sewn on around all edges with three-step zig-zag. The edges of the patch do not need to be turned under if the stitch length setting is quite short. Sewing round the patch several times will strengthen it. A threadbare spot is repaired by sewing back and forth with three-step zig-zag. This method is called Quick-mend and is the quickest and easiest method of darning. For every row of stitching, guide the fabric slightly to the side so that the stitches cover the entire worn area. If the fabric is very worn, a piece of the fabric or a lining may be attached to the reverse side of the material as rein forcement.
