Stitch Width Dial & Stitch Length Dial
Function of stitch width dial
The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is 6mm;
however, the width can be reduced on any pattern. The width
increases as you move zigzag dial from "0" - "6". (1)
Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag stitching
Set the Stitch Selector Dial to zig-zag. The density of zig-zag
stitches increase as the setting of stitch length dial approaches
"0". Standard zigzag stitches are usually achieved at "3" or
below. Dense zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches.
Function of stitch length dial for straight stitching
For straight stitch sewing, turn the Stitch Selector Dial to the
straight stitch setting. Turn the Stitch Length Dial, and the
length of the individual stitches will decrease as the dial appro-
ached "0". The length of the individual stitches will increase
as the dial approaches "4". Generally speaking, use a longer
stitch length when sewing heavier weight fabrics or when using
a thicker needle or thread. Use a shorter stitch length when
sewing lighter weight fabrics or when using a finer needle or
thread.
Three Needle Position Dial
The needle position can be altered with the three needle
position dial. For normal work, the needle position is middle.
For edge stitching or sewing parallel lines of top stitch, select
needle position left or right. For twin needle stitching, needle
position is middle.
