4. ALL ABOUT ZIG-ZAG STITCHiiyG
two kinds of zig-zag stitches
The zig-zag stitches built into your machine
include basic zig-zag stitches and Flexi-Stitch
patterns. In addition to the obviously decora­
tive uses of these stitches, some also serve
practical purposes. Under the section called
‘‘Sewing the Professional Way’' beginning on
page 47, you will find instructions for both
decorative and practical uses of these stitches.
All of the basic zig-zag stitches and some of
the FiexhStitch patterns are charted below.
(When sewing Flexi-Stitch patterns, set speed
range at
SLOW.)
