6-2-5. Setting the zigzag stop position
When the plain zigzag, 2-step zigzag, 3-step zigzag or scallop sewing patterns are selected, you can set whether the needle
stops when it is at the right side or the left side of the sewing pattern.
(If the right stopping has been set, the needle stop position will be the position shown by ○ in the illustration below.)
* When the straight stitch, blind stitch or custom-made sewing patterns have been selected, the zigzag stop position setting
is ignored.
<Sewing machine operation when sewing stops>
When right stopping or left stopping is set, the sewing machine will keep running until the set position is reached, even if the
treadle is returned to the neutral position or depressed backward.
• For plain zigzag, 2-step zigzag and 3-step zigzag, the needle will stop at the stitch furthest to the right if right stopping has
been set, or at the stitch furthest to the left if left stopping has been set.
• For the scallop sewing pattern, the needle will stop at the next right-side stitch if right stopping has been set, or at the next
left-side stitch if left stopping has been set.
<Setting method>
<Sewing start position after the treadle is depressed backward>
When right stopping has been set, sewing starts from the right side. When left stopping has been set, sewing starts from the
left side.
• If the needle stops in the needle down stop position, the needle will be raised to the needle up stop position when the
treadle is depressed backward. (The workpiece can then be changed.)
The next sewing operation starts from the same position.
NOTE:
Do not press the half stitch key or correction key or turn the machine pulley by hand to move the needle to the needle
up stop position. Doing so will cancel the effect of the zigzag stop position function.

•
The indicator illumination changes as shown
in the illustration at left and the zigzag stop
position setting changes each time the zigzag
stop position key is pressed.
• If right stopping or left stopping has been set,
the indicator also illuminates during sewing so
that you can check the setting.
* When the needle stops in the
needle up stop position, the
last stitch does not form part o
f
the seam.
If the treadle is depressed
backward at this time, the
seam is formed at tha
t
position.
