3 BUILT-IN STITCHES
Straight stitching
Straight stitches are used for sewing plain seams.
■ Top stitching and stretch materials
You can use a straight stitch for top stitching and
sewing lightweight fabrics.
Zigzag stitching
■ Zigzag stitch
Turn the pattern selection dial to the Zigzag Stitch,
and then start sewing.
We recommend that you sew using the Straight
Stitch at the beginning and end of Zigzag Stitches.
(This acts as a reinforcement stitch.)
■ Zigzag (Satin) Stitch
You can use the Zigzag (Satin) Stitch for making
decorative stitches.
When sewing a Zigzag (Satin) Stitch, use a slightly
looser upper-thread tension to produce more
beautiful stitches.
With the pattern selection dial, the Zigzag (Satin)
Stitch (number 11) can be set to one of three stitch
lengths. The middle position is the setting for the
standard stitch length.
1 For a shorter stitch length, turn the pattern
selecting dial to the left position of Zigzag
(Satin) Stitch (number 11).
2 For a longer stitch length, turn the pattern
selecting dial to the right position of Zigzag
(Satin) Stitch (number 11).
