| The appearance of your zig
zag stitches can look nice or it can look poor and sloppy. Look at the
pictures and see!
Stitch
slowly and smoothly around curves. Gradually
turn the fabric as you sew. When
the line you are following gets too far off center, stop the machine with your
needle down in the fabric on the outside of the curve.
Turn the fabric slightly, realigning the line to the center. This may
take several realignments. Don’t
make drastic adjustments because your line will look jerky. If the curve is
sharp, you may need to realign the fabric every 2-3 stitches.
You want the zigzags to all be even, not tapering. Make your corners
sharp and defined by taking a stitch out and back, using the flywheel, not
your foot.
