BUILT-IN STITCHES

Straight stitching

Straight stitches are used for sewing plain seams.

* Turn the stitch width dial to adjust the needle position. 

Setting the dial to “5” selects the left needle position; 
setting the dial to “0” selects the right needle position. 
Refer to “Stitch width dial” on page 12.

Top stitching and stretch materials

You can use a straight stitch for top stitching and 
sewing lightweight fabrics.
You can use a triple stretch stitch for sewing stretch 
fabrics.

Zigzag stitching

Zigzag stitch

Turn the pattern selection dial to the Zigzag Stitch, 
and then start sewing.

We recommend that you sew using the Straight 
Stitch at the beginning and end of zigzag stitches. 
(This acts as a reinforcement stitch.)

Satin stitch

Setting the Zigzag Stitch length in the “F”-“1” range 
produces a satin stitch (close zigzag stitch). The 
Satin Stitch can be used for making buttonholes and 
decorative stitches. Set the pattern selection dial to 
the Zigzag Stitch, set the stitch length in the “F”-“1” 
range, and set the stitch width dial between “0” and 
“5”.

Blind hem stitching

You can use the Blind Hem Stitch to finish the edge of a 
project, like the hem of a pair of trousers, without the 
stitch showing. Blind Hem Stitch: sewing on non-stretch 
fabrics. Stretch Blind Hem Stitch: for stretch fabrics.

Memo

When the size of cylindrical pieces is too 
small to slide onto the arm or the length is 
too short, the fabric will not feed and 
desired results may not be achieved.
