ADJUSTING WIDTH OF
DESIGN
To produce a zig-zag stitch pattern, move
the stitch width selector from straight
stitch setting 0, to any setting between
1 and 5. The higher the number, the
wider the stitch.
ADJUSTING STITCH
PLACEMENT
Most of your basic zig-zag stitching will
be done in center (C) needle position.
Left (L) and right (R) settings are used
for special stitch placement, as in button­
hole sewing, button sewing and twin-
needle work.

ADJUSTING NEEDLE-THREAD
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 the stitches are not flat and the fabric
is puckered, redtrce needle-thread tension
by turning the dial to a lower number.
