ANGLED STEPPED STITCH

Applications

Decorative Stitching

Use this stitch to embellish your sewing projects with a single row, multiple rows, or even in combination with other decorative stitches. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, all-purpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using. It is also helpful to use a stabilizer to help support the stitches. Learn more about needles and stabilizers on the SINGER website.

Sewing Flat Seams

Some fabrics such as vinyl, neoprene, cork and others are somewhat stiff and may be difficult to work with when sewing seams. In these case, the fabrics can be overlapped and then sewn with this decorative stitch. Doing this eliminates excess bulk and provides a smooth seam. It may be helpful to use a Non-stick Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) for sewing fabrics like vinyl.

Attaching Trims

Use this decorative stitch to attach ribbons and trims. It's an easy way to embellish projects. It is helpful to use an Open Toe Foot (additional accessory for some machine models), which provides a clear view of the sewing area. For machines with adjustable stitch length and stitch width, set the stitch length and stitch width according to the look you want for your project.
