Basic Zigzag:
The zigzag stitch is another stitch that is very versatile. It
can be a utility stitch for sewing a button, making a
buttonhole, hemming, overcasting, mending and darning. It
can also be used to decorate with trims, appliques and cut
work, or as a decorative stitch.
a. Stitch selector

b. Needle thread tension
2 ~ 5
c. Presser foot
All purpose foot
1. Select the zigzag stitch (D ~ F). (Fig. 2)
2. Set the needle thread tension between 2 ~ 5. (Fig. 1)
3. Make sure that the All Purpose foot is attached to the
machine. (Fig. 1)
4. Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a
seam guide line on the needle plate.
5. Turn the handwheel to lower the needle to the point
where you want to start sewing.
6. Lower the presser foot and pull the threads to the back.
7. Depress the foot control and gently guide the fabric
along the seam guide line letting the fabric feed
naturally. (Fig. 2)
Note:
To obtain better zigzag stitches, the upper tension
should be slightly less than when sewing straight stitches.
Overcasting Stitch:
a. Stitch selector
F
b. Needle thread tension
1 ~ 4
c. Presser foot
All purpose foot
This stitch is useful in garment construction and in finishing
raw edges of any sewing project. Start overcasting from
about 1/8” (0.3 cm) inside the raw corner of a seam. The
right tip of the stitch should just clear the seam edge.

a. Stitch selector
G
b. Needle thread tension
1 ~ 4
c. Presser foot
All purpose foot
This stitch is used to finish the seam allowance on
synthetics and other fabrics that tend to pucker. Place your
fabric to allow a 5/8” (1.6 cm) seam. Trim the seam
allowance after sewing. (Fig. 4) It is also handy for darning
and mending.
Note: Be careful not to cut the stitches when trimming the
seam allowance.
