<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 2469950, member: 36"]I use an electric, a 60s Singer a few years older than I am. Straight stitch is for regular sewing. Zigzag is for knits or fray-happy fabrics. You can use it as a top stitch too. Some older machines have disks to tell it to do different fancier stitches too. Most of what I've been doing these days are masks and baby quilts, but I know enough about clothing construction to be trouble. Old textiles too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
