■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.

Blind hem stitching

Stitch Name	Pattern	Length
			[mm (inch)]

Stretch Blind	9	F-1.5	3 (1/8)
Hem Stitch		(1/64-1/16)

You can use the Blind Hem Stitch to finish the edge of a project, like the hem of a pair of trousers, without the stitch showing.

Memo

●When the size of cylindrical pieces is too small to slide onto the arm or the length is too short, the fabric will not feed and desired results may not be achieved.
