I've only sewed paper with it so far, and I can't get the zigzag to zigzag. I'm still working on it, but this may be beyond my amateur abilities. Which is unfortunate-I've got skirts that need hemmed, and a new toy to play with! I'm taking the other one I bought (a Cavalier) to my osmg tomorrow; I'll take this one too and hope it's a fast and easy fix.[/quote]
I may be wrong but I think that the +- on the machine maybe be the stitch balancer. Try to move it in either direction and see if you can get the zigzag. Keep playing with the + - and see what happens. Kathie
