7-2-3. Setting the zigzag base line position
The zigzag base line is the "center" of the zigzag stitch, or in other words, it is like a center line drawn through the
sewing pattern.
By moving the zigzag base line position, you can move the sewing pattern to the left and right within the maximum
range for the pattern width.

• Use the
selection keys to set [L] or [r] in the

Note:
If the needle bar is at the needle up stop position, the
needle bar will move to the sewing start position when
the zigzag base line position is changed.
If the needle bar is not at the needle up stop position,
the needle bar will move to the sewing start position
after it next moves to the needle up stop position.
