Stitch length:
Red zone

2 to 6
(_ Presser foot:
Zigzag foot

Straight foot
NOTE:
When using the straight stitch foot, make sure to use the
center needle position. Otherwise, the needle may strike
the presser foot and possibly break.
Topstitching emphasizes the lines of garments and keeps
seams and edges flat and crisp. Lower the presser foot, and
keep the edge of the fabric next to the right edge of the
presser foot.
Evenly guide the fabric along the edge to produce an even
row of topstitching 3/8" (1.0 cm) from the edge.
