Check that twin stitch width safety is not turned on in the SET menu (use More button at bottom of first screen to access third screen).

Hello

look at the cam gear. This is the unit that the cam connects to. It could have a crack or be split completely. If there is a crack the cam stack will have to be replaced. The parts are hard to get and a good technician is needed.

Testimonial: "That was the problem exactly. I am going to order a new cam gear and replace it. Thanks"

Very old Viking 6360 zig zag stitch width knob won't move - stuck in the "0" position
If it is very old, it probably needs cleaning with solvent underneath then re-lubricating. It seems to be a known issue. Check out the videos.

What do I set my machine for to make very close zig zag stitch. Husqvarna Viking platinum 755.
With most machines after you select the Zig Zag setting you then select the normal stitch knob that can be adjusted for long or short stitch lengths and that should also give you adjustment on your Zig Zag stitch length .

Elna machine puckers silk on zig zag stitching, Elna 2007
Yes, because a zig zag stitch is creating a wide stitch and the tension on the thread is going to pull the fabric within the seam together, you can't seam thin fabric with a wide zig zag. It will "tunnel together". If you are using this stitch to neaten a raw edge, then try using the serpentine or three step zig zag where the needle pierces the fabric 3 times in each leg of the zig zag, this will give better results.

You can bend the arm on the walking foot a tiny bit to the left, then turn the machine by hand to see if it stays on, bend a tiny bit more and repeat.

Zig zag does not work on Viking 1973
it would be a good idea to have the machine checked to see if
the cam or gear that works the zig zag is damaged or broken..

Viking 6440 zig zag
Yep, it's out of time. You'll need to either pay to have it timed or Do it yourself. Personally zig zags are a bit of a pain... I would pay.

I need to adjust the needle so when I zig zag it will not hit the plastic. It works perfect on stright stitch.
You might have the zig zag set for z-z left or right-hand. Make sure you are choosing the zig zag centre stitch. Also check you are using the correct foot - it should be the A or B foot with the wide opening.

Zig Zag Stitch not working
THis problem occurred as I was sewing on Neoprene. I was using Gutterman all-purpose thread and a size 80 needle. Tried switching to a size 70, then to size 90. Still unable to zig zag. After inserting a test sample of cotton, the zig zag worked perfectly, so I knew it was not a mecahnical problem. I switched needles again. This time to size 90 for stretch fabric. Voila! Problem solved.
