The zigzag stitch is one of the most common
and versatile stitches. It can be a utility stitch for
button sewing, buttonhole making, hemming,
overcasting, mending and darning.
It can also be used to decorate with trims,
appliques and cut work, or as a decorative stitch.

Variable Needle Position
When the straight stitch (pattern A) is selected,
you can move the needle between center and left
needle position by turning the stitch width dial.
Simple zigzag stitching is used for finishing raw
seam edges (overcasting) on most woven fabrics
to prevent fabric from unraveling. This is the
fastest way to finish an edge.
Place the fabric edge against the black guide on
the foot. Sew.
