Zigzag Stitching - Singer 398054 Operation And Safety Notes

ZIGZAG STITCHING

SETTINGS: Presser foot – All Purpose Foot
(J) : Thread tension control – 4
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
manual.
NOTE: The values shown in the chart are actual
sewing lengths and widths and do not corre-
spond to the scale and number markings on the
sewing machine.
SATIN STITCH
This is a closely spaced attractive stitch for ap-
plique bar- tacking, etc. Slightly loosen the top
thread tension and manually adjust the stitch
length between 0.5 and 1.5 for satin stitching.
Use a backing of stabilizer or interfacing to
help avoid puckering.
NOTE: When sewing a dense (closely spaced)
Satin Stitch, the Satin Stitch Foot MUST be used.
