You can prevent the Sapphire 870 from zig zagging, if you push the tool button on your machine and select straight stitch. I have the Sapphire 875, started with the Sapphire 870.

That's interesting news, and how did you find this out, I didn't read that any place, I need to play around with more options, I guess....just went & tried it and selected stitch width safety; then selected zig zag stitches & their width will only go to "0". I wondered if I would remember that I had selected this or think my machine was broken next time. So shut off and when you turn it on again you get the message machine set for straight stitck OK? Thanks so much!
