On behalf of expertvillage.com, I am Jennifer with A Perfect Fit Alterations. We’re located
in Burleson, Texas. Our phone number is 817-447-3522. I’m going to discuss in this clip how to
find your zigzag on your machine, how to adjust the width and the length, and what you would
use the different stitches for. On this machine our zigzag stitch here is number 2. We would
push number 2. Now it’s going to setup and it’s going to ask you right here what the
width is; this has it at 5.0, which is a real wide stitch. You can adjust it by pushing
this button here and it’ll take it bigger, or if you go the other direction it’ll take
it smaller, almost to where it’s nonexistent. We’re going to test out our width before
we start any of our projects to see how wide the stitch is. Now that is a very, very narrow
zigzag. You might use that zigzag to go around the bottom of the pair of pants to stop it
from fraying; you might use it if you don’t have a surger. You can use it as an overlock
stitch. You can go wider on your stitch. And we’re going to use this stitch for different
appliqué work, decorating things like that, and you can go even wider and this stitch
might be used for putting on a patch, maybe a boy scout patch or a girl scout patch. You
can adjust the length of the stitch by pushing the minus, and it’ll make the stitches closer
together, which would be a decorative appliqué stitch. And there you can see we’ve started with
the very small, which you’re going to use for different overlocking and different projects,
and as the stitch goes up and then we’re all the way to an appliqué stitch on the
zigzag.
