I thought I had read somewhere that some Japanese ZZs needed a separate foot for straight stitches (which did not come with my machine). I’m so happy it was such a simple fix!
You are most welcome. I'm glad it worked for you.
There are some machines that work better with a straight stitch foot and needle plate. Some are what are considered left homing machines. Those would need a special straight stitch foot and needle plate. One can tell if it is left homing by seeing where the needle comes down if set for straight stitching. If it comes down on the left side of the hole of the zigzag plate then it is considered a left homing machine.
