6 Stitch Adjustments
Presser Foot Pressure
A
The presser foot pressure for sewing based on normal
conditions should be set to ”N”(A). Adjustments may be
necessary due to fabric type and weight. Increase or decrease
the pressure until you are satisfied with the result. Always test
sew on a sample of your fabric before sewing on your
garment.
Less pressure:
Decrease the pressure by turning the dial in
counter-clockwise direction to a value between N and 1.
More pressure:
Increase the pressure by turning the dial in
clockwise direction to a value between N and 7.
Back to standard setting:
Turn the adjustment dial until the
mark on the knob is set to N.
Stitch Width Adjustment
The stitch width can be increased or decreased by changing
the needle position or with the cutting width dial.
Adjustment Using Needle Position

6mm

9mm
When only the left needle, or when both needles are used the
stitch width is 6 mm (A).
When only the right needle is used the stitch width is 4 mm
(B).
When using the chainstitch needle the stitch width is 9 mm
(C).
Adjustment Using Cutting Width Dial
A

The cutting width can be fine tuned by turning the cutting
width dial (A). The set value should match the mark on the
cover (B). By doing so, the upper cutter position and cutting
width can be adjusted within the range shown below.
When only the left needle is used: 5.5 - 7.5 mm
When only the right needle is used: 3.5 - 5.5 mm
When using the chainstitch needle: 8.5 - 10.5 mm
For standard setting the dial should be set to 6.5.
Tip: Use the Precise Thread Control system to fine tune the formation
of stitches so that the loops form neatly around the fabric edge (see page
53 and page 17).
