• Zigzag
Width Control:
At the
straight
stitch
symbol
( ),
the
needle
does
not
swing
and,
therefore,
a straight
stitch
seam
is
sewn. With
the dial
at
the narrow
zigzag
symbol
( ),
the
needle takes
a narrow
swing
resulting
in a narrow
column
of
stitching.
At
the widest
zigzag
symbol
(
),
the needle
takes
a
large
swing
resulting
in
a
wide
column
of stitches.
The
dial
may
be
set
at any
position
desired
between
the
straight
stitch
and
the widest
zigzag
positions
for
a
variety
of
widths.
Note:
When
sewing
with
twin
needle,
the dial
should
be
set in the
white zone.
•
Buttonhole
Control:
When
set
at
the first
buttonhole
symbol
(step
1),
your
machine
sews,
forward,
the
left
side of
the
buttonhole.
With
the
dial
at
the next
buttonhole
symbol
(2—4),
your machine
feeds
the
fabric
for
bartacking
the buttonhole
ends
and,
set
at the
third
buttonhole
symbol
(3),
it feeds
the fabric
in
reverse
to
sew the
right side
of
the buttonhole.
RELATING
STITCH
LENGTH
TO
STITCH
WIDTH
When
the
stitch
width
dial is
set at
one particular
width
(such
as
the widest
zigzag)
the
stitch
length
dial
will then
determine
how
closely
the stitches
are sewn
together.
At
length
0,
the fabric
does not
move
so
that
the stitches
are
formed
one
on
top of
the
other,
as
is
used
when
sewing
on buttons.
At
the symbol
Q
or
near
0, the
fabric
is
fed
through
slowly
resulting
in a dense
column
of
stitches
known
as
a
satin
stitch.
At
length
5, a
very
long,
open
zigzag
is
sewn.
