STRAIGHT AND ZIGZAG STITCHING

——————————————————————————————————————————

Zigzag Stitching

■

Zigzag Stitch

Turn the pattern selection dial to zigzag stitch,
and then start sewing.

We recommend that you sew using the Straight
Stitch at the beginning and end of the Zigzag
Stitches.
(This acts as a reinforcement stitch.)

■

Zigzag (Satin) Stitch

You can use the zigzag (satin) stitch for making
decorative stitches.
When sewing a zigzag (Satin) stitch, use a slightly
looser upper-thread tension to produce more
beautiful stitches.

You can adjust the length of the Zigzag (Satin)
Stitch using the buttonhole fine-adjusting screw.

Buttonhole fine adjusting screw

For a longer stitch length, turn the
buttonhole fine-adjusting screw with a large
screwdriver in the + direction.

For a shorter stitch length, turn the
buttonhole fine-adjusting screw with a large
screwdriver in the - direction.
