<p>71.178.30.161: lol</p> <hr /> <div>:'' For other uses, see the disambiguation page [[Zig zag]]''<br /> <br /> A '''zigzag''' is a [[pattern]] made up of many small corners at an [[angle|acute angle]], tracing a path between two [[parallel lines]]; it can be described as both ''jagged'' and fairly regular. <br /> <br /> From the point of view of [[symmetry]], a regular zigzag can be generated from a simple motif like a [[line segment]] by repeated application of a [[glide reflection]]:<br /> <br /> :-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+<br /> <br /> Equally it is the juxtaposition of [[Chevron (insignia)|chevron]]s.<br /> <br /> A car, for example, could move in a zigzag, that is, not going straight, but instead moving left and right and left and so on. The trace of a [[triangle wave]] or a [[sawtooth wave]] could be described as a ''zigzag''. [[Pinking shears]] are designed to cut cloth with a zigzag edge, to lessen fraying. Zigzags are a basic decorative pattern used on [[pottery]].<br /> <br /> In [[sewing]], a '''zigzag stitch''' is a [[sewing machine|machine]] stitch in a zigzag pattern. Tightly space zigzag stitches are used to emulate [[embroidery stitch]]es such as satin stitch, and to reinforce [[buttonhole]]s. <br /> Zigzag stitch is also used as a 'non-structural' seam, to temporarily hold 2 panels together edge to edge (and eliminate the ridge that would x-ray through) . This is done when another panel will overlay the seam and provide support. <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Patterns]]<br /> [[Category:Sewing stitches]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Zick-Zack]]<br /> [[eo:Zigzago]]<br /> [[he:זיגזג]]<br /> [[nl:Zigzag (lijn)]]</div>
