Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Zig Zag Standard Presser Foot is ready for use. This foot is ideal for general sewing, including straight stitches, zigzag stitches, and other utility stitches that require a wider opening for the needle.
- Select Stitch Type: On your sewing machine, select the desired stitch, such as a straight stitch or a zigzag stitch. Ensure the stitch width is appropriate for your project.
- Position Fabric: Place your fabric under the presser foot, ensuring it is flat and aligned.
- Lower Presser Foot: Lower the presser foot lever to hold the fabric securely in place.
- Begin Sewing: Start sewing at a moderate speed, guiding the fabric smoothly. The wide opening of the zigzag foot allows the needle to move freely from side to side for zigzag stitches without hitting the foot.
