Hi everyone! I started sewing a few weeks ago but I can’t seem to get the zigzag stitch right. I understand that the needle is supposed to hit just off the fabric on the right side, but when I do it, the stitches don’t look like what I see on the tutorials and it further frays the fabric.

I’ve attached a photo of an example zigzag stitch I did on the fabric I’m working on right now and my sewing machine setting. I have a Singer M3220. Some guidance would be very much appreciated, thank you!
