The Sewing Computer – Operating Instructions
When sewing corners,
only a small section of
the fabric is actually on
the feed dog so that it
cannot grip the fabric
well.
Feed Dog and Fabric Feed
Important
•
let the fabric feed
evenly!
•
pulling, pushing or
holding back the
fabric will result in
uneven stitches
Feed Dog and Stitch Length
With each stitch the feed dog moves forward by
one step. The length of this step is determined by
the stitch length selected. With an extremely short
stitch length, the steps are also very short. The
fabric moves under the foot quite slowly, even at
full sewing speed. Buttonholes, satin stitch and
decorative stitches are all sewn with a very short
stitch lengh.
Height Compensating Tool
To solve this problem,
place one, two or three
compensating plates as
required behind the
needle under the
presser foot. To correct the height in
front of the foot, place
one or more plates to
the right of the foot
next to the needle. Sew
until the foot is level
again and remove the
plates.
Feed Dog and Sewing Corners
Correct this by placing one
or more compensating
plates as close as possible
to the edge of the fabric. The gap between the
two rows of teeth is
relatively large due to
the width of the stitch
plate hole.
The feed dog can work
normally when the foot
is level. If the foot is at an
angle, e.g. when
sewing over thick to
thin or vice versa, the
feed dog cannot grip
and feed the fabric.
