Before shopping for a sew
ing machine, the booklet ad
vises you to consider the
kind of sewing you expect to
do and how often you plan to
use the machine. Most home
sewing needs can be filled by
a straight stitch machine
that does straight stitching,
forward and reverse. This is
the simplest and least ex
pensive machine you can
buy. Attachments provided
or bought separately also
will perm it you to do zigzag
stitching, buttonholes, over
casting, ruffles or blind hem
ming.
But, if you buy too
many attachments, the cost
may be more than you would
pay for a more versatile
machine with a variety of
built in features:
• The basic zigzag machine
sews a straight stitch and
also can be set for zigzag
stitching, with the needle
swinging from side to side.
The zigzag stitch is useful for
overcasting, blind stitching,
darning, satin stitching, but
tonholing and sewing on but
tons.
• The more versatile zigzag
machine offers from one to
25 or more stitch possibilities
through use of cams.
