With each stitch the feed-dog moves forward one step. The
length of this step is determined by the stitch length
selected.
With a very short stitch length the steps are very short. The
fabric moves relatively slowly under the presser foot, even
at full sewing speed, e.g. buttonholes and satin stitch and
decorative stitches are sewn with a very short stitch length.
Let the fabric feed fabric evenly.
Pulling, pushing or holding back the fabric will result in uneven stitches.
