Zig-Zag stitching
setting stitch width
and needle position
STITCH WIDTH SELECTOR
To produce a zig-zag stitch, the Stitch
Width Selector must be moved from its
straight stitch position to any setting on
the left. Your stitch will be wider as you
move the Selector to the left.
To set your stitch width, push down
on the Selector, slide to desired
position, and release.
NEEDLE POSITION SELECTOR
Most of your zig-zag stitching will
be done in center (C) needle
position. Left (L) and right (R)
settings are used for special stitch
placement, such as buttonholing.
To set needle position, push down on
the Selector, slide to desired
position, and release.
Be sure to raise the needle above the
throat plate and fabric before
changing the stitch width and needle
position.
