BASIC ZIGZAG
Simple zigzag stitching is widely used for
overcasting, sewing on buttons etc.
THREE-STEP ZIGZAG
When using the Edging Foot J for three-
step zigzag, make sure the needle does not hit
the pin in the needle hole
.
Three-step zigzag is suitable for
overcasting most fabrics. It is used on the
seam allowance to prevent fabrics from
fraying at raw edges. Make sure that the
needle sews over the edge of the fabric.
SEAM AND OVERCAST
The Seam/Overcast stitch sews the seam
and overcasts the edge all at one time.
