■ Zigzag stitch

Turn the pattern selection dial to the Zigzag Stitch,

and then start sewing.

We recommend that you sew using the Straight

Stitch at the beginning and end of Zigzag Stitches.

(This acts as a reinforcement stitch.)

■ Zigzag (Satin) Stitch

You can use the Zigzag (Satin) Stitch for making

decorative stitches.

When sewing a Zigzag (Satin) Stitch, use a slightly

looser upper-thread tension to produce more

beautiful stitches.

With the pattern selection dial, the Zigzag (Satin)

Stitch (number 11) can be set to one of three stitch

lengths. The middle position is the setting for the

standard stitch length.

1 For a shorter stitch length, turn the pattern

selecting dial to the left position of Zigzag

(Satin) Stitch (number 11).

2 For a longer stitch length, turn the pattern

selecting dial to the right position of Zigzag

(Satin) Stitch (number 11).
