Setting the zigzag base line position The zigzag base line is the "center" of the zigzag stitch, or in other words, it is like a center line drawn through the sewing pattern. By moving the zigzag base line position, you can move the sewing pattern to the left and right within the maximum range for the pattern width.

If the LED display q is illuminated steadily, press the SET key w so that the LED display q flashes. 2. Press the zigzag base line position key e. The indicator r will illuminate, and the zigzag base line position currently set will flash on the LED display q. The setting is displayed in units of 0.1 mm. (For example, L20 indicates that the pattern position is 2.0 mm to the left, and r20 indicates that the pat- tern position is 2.0 mm to the right.) 3. Press the ˚ and ˜ selection keys t to change the zig- zag base line position. • If changing the setting from ++0, first change the numerals, and then set "L" or "r". • Use the ˚ and ˜ selection keys t for the left col- umn of the LED display q to set "L" or "r". 4. Press the SET key w. The selected zigzag base line position will be accepted, and the LED display q will stop flashing and illuminate steadily. * When setting another item in addition to the zigzag base line position, you can press the SET key w after all other settings have been completed to accept all of the settings at once, instead of pressing the key at this point. (Refer to page 66.) ˙ Zigzag base line position indicator r If the zigzag base line position has been set to something other than ++0, the zigzag base line position indicator r will illuminate so that you can check whether the zigzag base line position has been set to a position other than the center. ˔ Relationship between zigzag base line position and zigzag width (when the maximum zigzag width is 8 mm) By way of example, consider a sewing pattern (Figure A) with a zigzag base line position set to ++0 and a zigzag width set to +40. If the zigzag base line position is set to L20, the pattern will be moved over toward the left edge (Figure B). The sewing pattern cannot move any further to the left even if a larger setting is made. (Even if the zigzag base line position is set to L30, the sewing pattern position will be the same as if the setting had been L20 (Figure C.) However, in this case, if the zigzag width is set to +20, a sewing pattern such as that shown in Figure D will be produced.
