Embroidery Patterns.
With
the
machine
set
for
a
short
stitch
length,
different
designs
can
be
made
by
swinging the stitch width or zigzag lever back and forth between 0 and 4 or any other
combination of widths. Try setting the locks at 1 and 4, 2 and 4, etc. Set a rhythm
for
yourself
and
then
proceed.
After
a
while
you
will
become
quite
skillful,
varying
your
designs
by
the
speed
of
the
machine,
stitch
length
and
width,
and
the
manipula
tion of the lever. Always run the machine at a uniform speed, whether fast or slow.
