Husqvarna Viking Huskylock 936, User Manual

Page: 27 / 78

Model 936 features automatic Stitch length and Differential feed. You can override the automatic
settings as follows:
3-9. Stitch length
Normal stitch length is 2.5 mm. You may change the stitch length between 0.8 (for rolled edge) and
5 mm, using the Sewing Advisor’s manual function.
Change the stitch length as follows:
1. Press cursor button until the setting number for the stitch length blinks.
2. Press plus or minus button to select the desired length number.
3. Start to sew. The stitch length is adjusted automatically to the number.
4. If you want to store this setting, you can use the memory function.
See “2-5. Manual Mode (page 12)”.
3-10. Differential feed
Differential feed helps you to sew perfect seams on all kinds of fabric from light woven to heavy
knits.
This Huskylock has two feed teeth. The front teeth (for differential feed) can be adjusted to feed
more or less in proportion to the rear.
The ratio can be set between 0.5 and 2.5.
For light weight fabrics, set closer to 0.5. The front teeth move slower to hold fabric taut. For heavy
weight one, set closer to 2.5. The front feed teeth move faster to prevent distortion and stretching of
fabric.
The differential feed also helps to gather woven fabrics.
For maximum gathers, set to 2.5 and increase stitch length.
Change the differential feed as follows:
1. Press cursor button until the setting number for the differential feed blinks.
2. Press plus or minus button until the number becomes to what you want to change.
3. Start to sew. The differential feed is adjusted automatically to the number value.
4. If you want to store this setting, you can use the memory function.
See “2-5. Manual Mode (page 12)”.
Note : First sew a few test stitches on a piece of fabric you are going to use, referring the chart
below.
Note : The differential feed ratio and the stitch length are related to each other. Their minimum and
maximum values may be limited by their combinations and selected stitch patterns.
