ADJUSTING NEEDLE*.THfiEAD TENSION

Zig-zag stitching requires less needle-thread
tension than straight stitching. Make a test

sample with the fabric and thread you plan to

use so that you can adjust the tension properly.

The stitches should lie flat against the fabric
without causing the fabric to pucker.

If stitches are not flat and the fabric is puck­

ered, lower the needle-^rea^i tension by turn­

ing the dial to a lower number.

Adjusting Needle-Thread Tension

ADJUSTING STITCH CONTROL

Any stitch control setting from 6 to 20 will give
you an open zig-zag stitch. The lower the num­

ber, the more open, or farther apart, your
stitches will be. The symbol on the dial above

20 designates the FINE stitch area and is used
for adjusting zig-zag satin stitching (see next

, page for specific instructions).

For zig-zag stretch stitching (Ric-Bac pattern),
continue turning stitch control dial downward
until the symbol STBETCH appears under the

red line.

ADJUSTING PRESSURE AND
CHOOSING ACCESSORIES

ING” for Instructions on adjusting pressure.

The zig-zag throat plate and zig-zag foot must

be used for all zig-zag stitching.
