ZIGZAG STITCH:

OVERCASTING

Place the edge of the material underneath

the opening of the sewing foot and guide

raw edge along the center slot of the foot
allowing stitch to form half on and half
off the fabric.

SEWING KNITS

The narrow zigzag cap be used in seams
of firm knits for added strength. After
sewing, open seam and press flat. Tiny
zigzag stitches can hardly be seen and the

seam will give when stretched.

SEWING ON BUTTONS

Place the button so its left hole comes
directly under the needle of its left zigzag
sewing then gently lower the button foot.
Take a stitch into the hole.

Raise the needle from the left hole, and

move zigzag width control to the right
until the needle comes down exactly over
the right hole in the button.

Note: Be sure the needle clears the holes
of the button by moving the wheel by
hand before running the machine fast.

Usually 6 to 8 stitches are adequate for
securing a button in place. Stop with the
needle in the left hole. To lock the
threads, set the stitch width at 0 and
take a few stitches in the left hand hole.
