A chainstitch uses one thread (needle thread) which is looped around itself after the needle pushes it through the fabric, forming a stitch that looks like a chain on the underside of the fabric. A lock stitch uses two threads. The needle thread is above the fabric and the bobbin thread is below the fabric. After the needle pushes the upper thread through the fabric, the hook loops the bobbin thread over the needle thread, "locking" it so it will not be drawn back through the fabric when the needle is raised. Zig zag refers to the stitch where the needle alternates left and right as it sews. A zig zag stitch could be either a chainstitch or a lockstitch.
The zigzag control on the sewing machine allows you to make a zigzag stitch. It allows you to control both the length and width of a zigzag stitch, which looks like a bunch of "Z"'s in a row.
To adjust your sewing machine for a perfect zigzag stitch, first select the zigzag stitch setting on your machine. Then adjust the stitch width and length dials to your desired settings. Test the stitch on a scrap piece of fabric and make further adjustments as needed until you achieve the desired result.
