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
correspond to the scale and number markings
on the sewing machine.

SATIN STITCH

This is a closely spaced attractive stitch for applique 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.
