ZIGZAG STITCHING
SETTINGS
:
Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
Thread tension control – 4
The top thread may appear on the bottom depending
on
the
thread, fabric, type of stitch and sewing speed, but the bobbin
thread must never appear on the top of the fabric.
If bobbin thread is pulling to the top or you are experiencing
Puckering, slightly reduce the tension with the Thread Tension
Control.
ADJUSTING STITCH WIDTH AND LENGTH
A dark grey box indicates the Auto/default value is set
automatically when the pattern is selected.
For the Zigzag Pattern the stitch length is 2 mm and the
stitch width is 5 mm.
The light grey boxes indicate all the possible personal
preference options available to set manually.
NOTE: The values shown in the chart are actual sewing
lengths and widths and do not correspond to the scale
and number markings on the sewing machine.
SATIN STITCH
This is a closely spaced attractive stitch for applique bar-
tacking, etc. Slightly loosen the top thread tension and manually
adjust the stitch length between 0.5 and 1.5 for satin stitching.
Use a backing of stabilizer or interfacing for sheer materials to
avoid puckering.
NOTE: When sewing a dense (closely spaced) Satin
Stitch, the Satin Stitch Foot MUST be used.
