5. ZIGZAG STITCH SEWING

Set machine as shown.

To prevent seam ends unravelling, set machine
for straight stitch and sew in reverse at
beginning and ending of seam.

(1) Zigzag width control

Set control at required number.
Larger the number, wider the stitch.
Set it at 0 for straight sewing.

Make sure needle is in upper position when you

set control.

(2) Needle position control

Needle position can be changed by turning
needle position control.

When selecting position, make sure needle is

in upper position to avoid tearing material or
bending needle.

(3) Thread tension for zigzag stitch

Better-looking zigzag stitching requires less

upper tension than straight stitching.

Loosen upper tension slightly.
