Zig Zag Stitch.

The maching won't give me a zig zag stitch at all. i've been using it for like 6 months now, and it just started doing this. about every 4th stitch, it will give me one zig and then the rest of the line is a straight stitch. I have no idea why it all of a sudden started doing this.
