Stitch length
Every stitch equals one complete feed-dog movement. The
amount of movement is determined by the selected stitch
length.
The stitch length is infinitely variable from 1– 4 mm and can
be adjusted while sewing. Simply turn the stitch length dial in
the direction desired.
Most overlock work is done with a basic stitch length setting
of 2.5 mm (marking on the dial).
Most cover stitch work is done with a stitch length of
between 3 and 4.
Cutting width
Adjusting the cutting width for overlock stitches:
Turn the dial in the direction desired. The upper knife adjusts
automatically to the position of the lower knife.
The stitch width of overlock stitches is determined by the
cutting width and the needle(s) in use.
Note cover/chain stitch:
Cover and chain stitches are sewn without knives.
The upper knife and upper knife arm are fully raised
when the machine is in cover/chain stitch mode.
