Embroidering
with
a
dense
zigzag
stitch/
Tapering
With
your machine
the
zigzag stitch can
be
infinitely varied in its
width.
In
Anglo-Saxon
usage this technique -
in
which
a dense zig-
zag stitch becomes narrower - is called "tape-
ring".
By
regulating
the
width
of
this
dense
zigzag stitch you can create interesting
embroidery.
Even
embroidering
- Apply iron-on backing or place silk backing
paper under
the
fabric.
-
Set needle thread tension
to
"buttonhole",
select zigzag stitch G, set stitch length
to
"buttonhole" and select
the
center needle
position
(2).
- Turn the
width
knob (34) smoothly and
consistently
from
0
to
5
~
mm
and back
again
to
0 while sewing at a constant speed
throughout
the
procedure.
Note:
If you selected
the
right or left needle
position,
the
stitch
width
will only change
in
one direction.
