Sewing with zig-zag
Zig-zag
Check that the needle is in the highest position. You
have the choice of three zig-zag widths, 1 . 5,3 and 5 mm.
Turn the stitch selector to the required zig-zag symbol.
Set the stitch length dial to the recommended stitch
length, but experiment until you arrive at the best setting
for the actual work you will be doing.
Zig-zag is used for sewing on lace, gathering, bound
edging, appliqués, etc.
Ihree-step zig-zag is recommended for overcasting, as
it binds better and is more attractive.

Sewing on lace
The simplest way to attach lace is to place it Vi" or so in
on the fabric and sew with a fairly close zig-zag (stitch
length at the buttonhole symbol and the intermediate
zig-zag width).
Trim from the reverse side, close to the stitching.
The lace can be more firmly attached if it is first placed
about V 2 " in on the fabric and sewn on with narrow,
sparse zig-zag. Fold the fabric back against the reverse
side and stitch again from the right side, this time using a
httle wider zig-zag and closer stitches.
Trim the fabric on the reverse side close to the stitch­
ing, or fold a hem and sew with straight stitching.
