sewing of dense zigzag stitches you can
embroider corners with 45 degree angles.

"buttonhole", zigzag stitch G (1546),
E (1536/1526), set stitch length to
"buttonhole" and stitch width 5 mm.
• Select right needle position and
embroider a straight line.
• Embroider corner:
After the needle has penetrated the fabric
to the right, reduce the stitch width using
the width dial (27) by 0.5 mm to 4.5 mm.
and
Sew a stitch.
• Reduce the width once again by 0.5
mm and sew a stitch. Continue in this
manner until the stitch width is 0.5 mm.
• Turn the handwheel towards you until
the needle penetrates the fabric. Turn the
fabric 90 degrees and sew a stitch.
and
• Increase the width by 0.5 mm to 1.0
mm. Sew one stitch.
• Increase the width by 0.5 mm again
and sew one stitch. Continue in this
manner until the initial width is achieved.
Now embroider a straight line.
If the corner is to continue in the opposite
