Embroidery
Patterns
With
the
machine
set
for
a
short
stitch
length,
different
designs
can
be
made
by swinging
the
stitch
width or
zigzag
lever
back
and
forth
between
0
and 4
or
any
other
combination
of
widths.
Try
setting
the
locks
at
1
and
4,
2
and
3,
etc.
Set a
rhythm
for yourself
and
then
proceed.
After a
while
you
will
become
quite
skillful,
varying
your
designs
by
the
speed
of
the
machine,
stitch length
and
width
and
the
manipulation
of
the
lever.
