■Zigzag stitch

Turn the pattern selection dial to the Zigzag Stitch, and then start sewing.

We recommend that you sew using the Straight Stitch at the beginning and end of 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.

With the pattern selection dial, the Zigzag (Satin) Stitch (number 11) can be set to one of three stitch lengths. The middle position is the setting for the standard stitch length.

12

1For a shorter stitch length, turn the pattern selecting dial to the left position of Zigzag (Satin) Stitch (number 11).

2For a longer stitch length, turn the pattern selecting dial to the right position of Zigzag (Satin) Stitch (number 11).
