To cut the thread tails, hold the fabric in your left hand. Bring it up from behind the
machine, then place the thread tails into the thread trimmer on the side of the machine.
Pull down until the threads are trimmed.
ZIG-ZAG STITCHING
The Zig-Zag stitch can be used for seam finishing, applique work or decorative sewing.
Seam Finishing
Seam edges support the garment and should be given a durable finishing, particularly if
the fabric is likely to ravel.
There are two different ways to finish seams: Trimming after stitching the seam edge or
overedging. Try the techniques on a scrap fabric first to determine which is right for your
project.
Overedged Seam Finish Set the machine for Stitch #5 or #6 and attach the Satin Foot.
Sew, with the right side of the stitch at the edge of the seam. Trim the seam edges
evenly.
Decorative Stitching Add a personal touch to your projects by embellishing with
decorative threads. Mix different types and colours of thread to create border-like
finishes on garments, home decor, crafts and more.
Set the machine for Stitch #7, #8 or #9, depending on the look you want.
Attach the Satin Foot.
If a heavier weight thread (such as top stitching thread) will be used, be sure to change
the needle to a larger size as well.
