Sewing Speed Control
Before sewing, lower the speed. If tensions look good, slowly increase speed.
Operation at too high a speed can cause fabric distortion and give poor
results. Personal experience will be your best guide.
•
Machine sewing speed is shown on screen in stitches per minute.
•
Normal speed for best quality is from 500 to 750 stitches per
minute.
•
When sewing on finished caps, normal speed is lower, usually no
more than 550 stitches per minute.
•
Speed can be changed at any time, before beginning or while the
machine is sewing.
•
A sudden change in speed while sewing will most likely cause a
noticeable difference in stitch quality.
