Machine Zigzag : Using a medium width zigzag and slightly shortened stitch length, stitch close to the raw edge of the seam allowance. Adjust pressure and tension to attain a properly balanced stitch... Uses : This is probably the most common seam finish. It's a nice finish for medium-weight woven fabrics that ravel. Advantages : Relatively easy finish to apply. Does not add bulk. Fairly effective at controlling moderate raveling.  2, record 1, English, - zigzag%20stitch%20machine

The hairline seam can be used for collars, cuffs, and facings in sheer fabrics. This seam is stitched with a narrow zigzag, then trimmed close to the stitching so that no seam allowances show through. To give it more weight, filler cord may be added during the stitching.  1, record 3, English, - hairline%20seam

Fini filiforme : Il est parfait pour les cols, poignets et parementures. La couture au point de zigzag est rasée à proximité de la piqûre afin qu'on n'aperçoive pas celle-ci par transparence. Placez la ligne de piqûre près du bord de la ressource ou sur le bord vif du tissu. Rembourrez-la avec un fil de passe pendant le piquage.  1, record 3, French, - fini%20filiforme

A straight seam is the one that occurs most often. In a well-made straight seam, the stitching is exactly the same distance from the seam edge the entire length of the seam. In most cases, a plain straight stitch is used. For stretchy fabrics, however, a tiny zigzag or special machine stretch stitch may be used.  1, record 4, English, - straight%20seam

La couture droite est celle qu'on emploie le plus volontiers : la piqûre à point court est faite à égale distance du bord, tout le long de celui-ci. On l'exécute au point droit, car celui-ci convient à presque tous les genres de tissus. Toutefois, pour les tissus extensibles, servez-vous d'un très petit point de zigzag ou d'un point extensible fait à la machine.  1, record 4, French, - couture%20droite

The zigzag seam is similar to the hairline, but the stitch is wider. Its principal use is with fur and fake fur fabrics, where the stitch will disappear into the fabric.  1, record 5, English, - zigzag%20seam

Couture au point de zigzag : Elle ressemble au fini filiforme mais son point est plus long. On l'utilise pour coudre les tissus peluchés et les simili-fourrures; le point disparaît dans l'épaisseur du tissu.  1, record 5, French, - couture%20au%20point%20de%20zigzag

The overedge-stitch seam is done by using a special stitch pattern that is a combination of straight and zigzag stitches, some of which are stretch stitches. The straight stitches fall on the seamline; the zigzag stitches go over the edge. Using this type of stitch, seams can be joined and finished in one stitching operation. They are suitable for knit or stretch fabric.  1, record 6, English, - overedge%2Dstitch%20seam

Point de surfil : Il combine certains points simples avec des points de zigzag extensibles. Les points droits suivent la ligne de couture; les points de zigzag chevauchent le bord. Grâce à cette méthode, on forme une couture et on la finit en une seule opération. Ce point sert à coudre les tissus extensibles et les jerseys.  2, record 6, French, - couture%20au%20point%20de%20surfil
