The zigzag stitch is one of the most common and versatile
stitches. It can be a utility stitch for button sewing,
buttonhole making, hemming, overcasting, mending and
darning.
It can also be used to decorate with trims, appliques and
cut work, or as a decorative stitch.

The satin stitch is often used to decorate and overcast the
raw edge on blankets, linens, tablecloths and napkins. It is
also attractive in applique.
Once your machine is set up to stitch, for the best result,
test stitch on the fabric being used. A tight satin stitch may
pucker some lightweight fabrics.
