Tammi,
If we are only talking utility stitches, he is mostly correct. Stitches that have a reverse in their movement (stretch)
can still be off when the ZZ is correct.
The Brother machines from the 70s are usually found with a cracked cam stack. And these will usually sew straight and plain ZZ correctly even with the cack.

Thoughts?
