ADJUSTING STRETCH
STITCH BALANCE
If the stretch stitches are unbalanced
when you sew on a particular fabric,
balance them by turning the stitch length
dial, within the stretch range.
To Adjust the Distorted Stitches:
If the stitches are spread out (a),
correct them by turning the dial in the
“–” direction. If the stitches are close
together (b), correct them by turning the
dial in the “+” direction.
STITCH WIDTH
Turn the stitch width dial to set the
desired stitch width number at the
setting mark.
The higher the number, the wider the
stitch.
