Zigzag sewing machine

A zigzag sewing machine is a versatile type of sewing machine that can create a zigzag stitch in addition to straight stitches. This stitch allows for greater flexibility in sewing tasks, as it can stretch with fabric, making it ideal for hems, seams, and finishing edges to prevent fraying. Zigzag stitches are also used for decorative purposes and can vary in width and length, giving sewists creative options. It's widely used in both home sewing and professional garment construction, enhancing the aesthetic and durability of sewn items.
