ri|;ht will cauae the needle to be deflected from the right to the left (Fig. 23b). Rotation
to point the arrow obliquely to the left will cauae the needle to be deflected from the
left to the right (Fig. 23c).
This control, too, can be turned to centre, left or right during operation, but it should
again not be rotated when the machine is not running unless the needle is in its raised
position above the material.

The majority of zigzag work is performed with centre stitch, while left-hand stitch is
employed for button holes, sewing on buttons, ornamental stitches.
The right-hand stitch is employed for other ornamental stitches, and a combination of
the left and right huiid stitches is very often used as well.
Zigzag Sewing
(Use 2- or 3-ply threads, never 6-ply)
For zigzag sewing, set the machine as follows:
1. Raise take-up lever 7 (Fig. 2) to approximately its extreme position.
2. Insert zigzag foot, which should not be confused with the z i g z a g e m b r o id e r i n g f o o t
(Fig. 47). Its lower surface is hollow ground. Pull top and bottom threads backwards
under zigzag foot.
3. Adjust drop feed knob 17 to sewing mark by turning in anti-clockwise direction.
4. Set the stitch length regulator between 0 and 4 on the stitch length scale. This is
passible only if the screw 14 is not turned in completely.
5. Turn zigzag control knob 12 to the right according to the desired width (0-4). The
more it is turned to the right, the wider will the zigzag seam be. The zigzag knob
should never be operated when the needle is in the material while the machine is
idle. But the zigzag knob can be operated in either direction when the machine is
running.
6. Slide on sewing table.
