Turn the pattern selector dial to "B".
The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag
stitching is "5"; however, the width can be
reduced on any pattern. The width increases
as you move zigzag dial from "0" - "5".
The density of zigzag stitches increase as the
setting of stitch length dial approaches "0".
Neat zigzag stitches are usually achieved at
"2.5" or below.
When the stitch length is set between "0" -
"1", the stitches are very close together
producing the "satin stitch" which is used
for making buttonholes and decorative
stitches.
When sewing on very fine fabric, place a
piece of thin paper under the fabric. It is easy
to tear the paper and remove the paper after
you have finish your seam.
