What is the function of the zigzag stitching machine?

A zigzag sewing machine is a special type of sewing machine, also known as a zigzag sewing machine or herringbone sewing, used for zigzag sewing with certain elastic stitching, such as bras, underwear, etc. The commonly used ones are two-point machine (304 lock stitch) and three-point machine (308 lock stitch). Electronic zigzag sewing machines can set straight, 2-point, 3-point, 4-point, crescent shaped, needle shaped, and other zigzag seams on a sewing machine, greatly improving equipment activity.

The zigzag machine consists of four parts: the head, the base, the transmission, and the accessories. The nose is the main part of a zigzag machine. It is composed of four mechanisms: piercing, hooking, picking, and feeding, as well as auxiliary mechanisms such as winding, pressing, and dropping teeth. The movements of each mechanism are reasonably coordinated and work in a cycle to sew the seam material together.

The zigzag style refers to a design or artistic approach incorporating the zigzag pattern, consisting of a series of small corners at variable angles, tracing a path between two parallel lines. This pattern is both jagged and fairly regular, creating a visually engaging and dynamic aesthetic. The zigzag style can be found in various forms of art, architecture, textiles, and graphic design. It is used to add visual interest, movement, and a sense of rhythm to the overall composition.

A zigzag sewing machine is used for various sewing techniques, primarily by utilizing the zigzag stitch. This versatile stitch is ideal for seam finishing, applique, barracks, satin stitching, and more. The zigzag stitch can join fabrics, create decorative designs, and provide additional reinforcement for seams. Using a Satin Stitch Foot with the zigzag sewing machine can be helpful in preventing fabric puckering during certain sewing techniques.
