ZIGZAG STITCHING

SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot :Thread tension control - AUTO

The top thread may appear on the bottom depending on the thread, fabric, type of stitch and sewing speed, but the bobbin thread must never appear on the top of the fabric.

If bobbin thread is pulling to the top or you are experiencing Puckering, slightly reduce the tension with the Thread Tension Control.

ADJUSTING STITCH WIDTH AND LENGTH

Dark grey box indicates the Auto/default value set automatically when the pattern is selected.

For the Zigzag Pattern the stitch length is 2 mm and the stitch width is 5 mm.

The light grey boxes indicate all the possible personal preference options available to set manualy.

NOTE: The values shown in the chart are actual sewing lengths and widths and do not correspond to the scale and number markings on the sewing machine.

SATIN STITCH

This is a closely spaced attractive stitch for appliqué, bar- tacking, etc. Slightly loosen the top thread tension and manually adjust the stitch length between 0.5 and 2.0 for satin stitching. Use a backing of stabilizer or interfacing for sheer materials to avoid puckering.

NOTE: When sewing a dense (closely spaced) Satin Stitch, the Satin Stitch Foot MUST be used.
