■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.)

■ Satin stitch

Setting the Zigzag Stitch length in the “F”-“1” range

 

produces a satin stitch (close zigzag stitch). The

 

Satin Stitch can be used for making buttonholes and

decorative stitches. Set the pattern selection dial to

the Zigzag Stitch, set the stitch length in the “F”-“1”

range, and set the stitch width dial between “0” and

 

“5”.
