Sometimes when sewing sheer, slippery or stretch fabrics, you need a narrow zig-zag, and all the control of a straight-stitch foot. I have found the answer to this by purchasing a spare straight stitch foot for my machine, and a round file to fit into the hole of the foot. Then I filed the hole wider all round by about 1mm. With this foot, I can sew a narrow zig-zag if I am careful to test the stitch width beforehand by turning the hand wheel and making sure that the needle does not hit the foot but goes cleanly into the hole.
