Generally speaking, the thicker the fabric, thread and needle, the longer the stitch should be. Choose your needle position, from center position to left needle position by changing the stitch width dial from "0" to "7".

Zigzag stitching Turn the stitch selection dial to zigzag stitch. The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is "7"; however, the width can be reduced on any patterns. The width increases as you move zigzag dial from "0" - "7". For twin needle sewing, never set the width wider than "4". (1) The density of zigzag stitches increase as the setting of stitch length dial approaches "0". Neat zigzag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below. (2) Closed up zigzag stitches (close together) are referred to as a satin stitch. Set the stitch length between "0" - "1".
