I usually set my stitch length at about medium to smaller size zig zag. Set both the length and width to about the same size. I also use just regular old polyester/cotton thread. And I've learned along the way to stay far away from the fabrics that have any kind of spangles/sequins glued on. The glue gums up the needle and it makes the thread bunch and break like crazy! Hope this helps you out! If not you can always email me or call mea at 985-758-1751 anytime, I'd be gald to help you out!!
