MACHINE STITCHED INSERTION SAMPLE

Using a varigated metallic thread, I experimented with a selection different stitches on my machine to see which were suitable for use as insertion stitches. Quite obviously, I found that any stitch that made use of the swing needle zigzag function worked well as it would stitch into both edges and join them.
