Zig-Zag Stitch

Zig-Zag stitches are a very basic option to create a simple zig-zag line. We recommend to use them only for straight lines, because they will not stitch nicely around edges. In most cases, you would prefer a satin column instead.

Ink/Stitch will draw zig-zags back and forth between two lines, while you can vary the thickness of the column as you like.
