The Stitch Types toolbars include Zigzag and E Stitch stitch types. Both are used to create borders around appliqués. Both can also be used for decorative effects or open fills where fewer stitches are required. Zigzag and double zigzag stitches are also frequently used as underlays. Settings can be accessed via Object Properties > Outlines and Object Properties > Fills tabs.
