Sewing
Zigzag
The zigzag
is utilized for sewing on
lace, bound edging and appliqués.
The zigzag width will be decreased from
the left 5.5 mm width, steplessly to the right
to 0 mm. In this position the machine sews
straight stitch in the right needle position.
Experiment until you reach the best setting
for your actual work.
Three-step Zigzag
Overcasting
Three-step zigzag
is suitable for over-
casting most fabrics. Trim the edges of the
fabric before overcasting.
Make sure that the needle sews over the
edge of the fabric. Place the fabric according
to the presser foot (see picture).
Mending and Darning
Three-step zig-zag
, can be utilized
for mending and darning. A threadbare spot
is mended by sewing back and forth with
three-step zig-zag.
Use the reverse and for every row of stitch-
ing, guide the fabric slightly to the side. If
the fabric is very worn, a piece of fabric or
lining may be attached to the reverse side of
the material as reinforcement.
