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 5, English, - zigzag%20stitch%20machine
