Zigzag stitch
Satin stitch
The zigzag stitch is one of the most used stitch
types. It is appropriate for many applications,
including hemming, sewing appliqués and
stitching monograms.
Before beginning a zigzag seam, sew a few
straight stitches for reinforcing the seam.
The so-called satin stitch, consisting of zigzag stitches
laid down very close together, is especially useful for
appliqués, monograms and various decorative stitches.
Program selection from 2 to 5.
Stitch length dial between 0.5 and 2.
Whenever using this stitch, be careful to slightly loosen
the upper thread tension. The wider the stitch has to
be, the looser the upper thread tension has to be.
When sewing very thin or soft fabrics, thin paper
should be put under the fabric. This will prevent any
possible skipping of stitches or puckering of the fabric.
As for all stitches, we recommend sewing a test seam
before starting your work.
Note:
When using a twin needle, it has always to be
raised in the pivot.
Note:
When using a twin needle, you may ONLY
choose stitch programs 2 and 3.
