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