Zigzag stitching
Turn the stitch selector dial (7) to "B".
The maximum stitch width for zigzag
stitching is "5"; however, the stitch width
can be reduced on any type of stitch. The
width increases as you turn the stitch
width dial (4) from "0" to "5".
The density of zigzag stitches increases
as the setting of the stitch length dial
approaches "0". For a good zigzag stitch,
a stitch width of 2.5 or less is used.
When the stitch length is set between "0"
- "1", the stitches are very close together
producing the "satin stitch" which is used
for making buttonholes and decorative
stitches.
When sewing very fine fabric, place a
piece of fleece under the fabric.
