Someone requested I show what the 3 step zig zag is. I don't know if that is what it is called but that's what I call it. The left side is the stitched zig zag and the right is regular zig zag. The staggered one sinks nicely into knit or fleece fabrics and is quite stretchy. I did it the widest my Viking Diamond does.

Thanks!

Yeah, my machine has that stitch. I've never used it. What is it for?

I have used that zig-zag mostly when I am mending or patching up some blue jeans or something. Comes in handy for that!!
|
This is a great stitch, I love that it is stretchy. It is listed as a mending stitch in my manual :D:D:D
|
When this stitch first came out it was advertised as a 'stretch' zig zag stitch. It is great on any fabric that has a stretch, it won't break like straight or regular zig zag stitching does and goes with the 'flow'...

Cool- thanks!

I use it when joining pieces of batting...I butt the pieces side by side and then run this stitch down the middle.
|
I've heard of it as the elastic stitch or lingerie stitch. It will stretch with the elastic without the thread breaking.
