f)Selecting a stitch pattern
To select a particular pattern, take the following steps:
Select Stitch program on the pro- gramme selector.
Set the stitch length.
Select the stitch width.
Attach the corresponding sew foot, as described in Chapter 8.
Make the required settings as shown in the table on the right. If two values are set for the stitch length, these are understood as "from ... to ..." values.
g)Straight stitch
This is the most frequently used type of stitch. The zigzag sew foot is used for both straight and zigzag stitches. A smaller size of stitch should be selected for sewing finer materials.
h)Zigzag
The zigzag stitch is universal. The satin stitch pattern consists of short stitches set closely to each other, and is suitable for sewing initials, figures, appliqué, etc..
