This standard zigzag sewing machine makes soft finished seams. The zigzag mechanism features a triangular cam that helps create very nice consistently finished seams.
Zigzag sewing machines produce zigzag and other multi-directional stitches for stretch fabrics, edge finishing, and decorative work. Available as domestic models for home sewing and heavy-duty industrial units for high-speed production, they offer adjustable stitch width, length, and presser foot options. Buyers evaluate motor power, feed system, stitch controls, and overall durability based on intended material and production volume.
Inspect stitch quality, motor noise, feed dog condition, needle bar and presser foot movement, and any oil leaks. Ask for maintenance records and test on the materials you plan to use.
Use a carrier experienced with sewing equipment, secure the machine in its case or crate, disconnect power and loose parts, pad moving parts, and insure the shipment for full value.
Regularly clean lint and dust, oil moving parts per the manual, replace needles and belts as needed, check timing and tension, and service the motor and feed mechanisms periodically.
