Zigzag Stitching; Placement Of Patterns - Singer 160 Instruction Manual

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 manually.
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 zig zag stitch used 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 for lightweight fabrics to avoid
puckering.
NOTE: When sewing a dense (closely spaced) satin
stitch, the satin stitch foot MUST be used.
