ADJUSTING STITCH PLACEMENT
Most of your basic zig-zag stitching will
be done in center (¿) needle position.
Left (l^) and right (Jj^) settings are used
for sp^ial stitch placement as in button
sewing and twin-needle work.
ADJUSTING NEEDLE-THREAD
TENSION
Basic
zig-zag
stitching
requires
less
needle-thread tension than straight stitch
ing. 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, lower the needle-thread tension
by turning the dial to a lower number.
Before moving stitch width and needle
position selectors, make sure needle is
above fabric and stitch length dial is not
on a buttonhole setting.
