SETTING STITCH WIDTH
AND NEEDLE POSITION
To produce a
plain zig-zag stitch or
a blindstitch, the stitch width selec-
tor must be moved from its straight
stitch position 0, to any setting be-
tween 1 and 5 . The higher the num-
ber you select, the wider your stitch
will be .
Be sure to raise the needle above
thethroat plate before changing the
stitch ividth .
Most of your
zig-zag stitching will
be done at center (C) needle posi-
tion . Left (L) and right (R) set-
tings are used for special stitching
requirements, such as buttonhol-
ing, button sewing, and twin-needle
work
.
