NOTE:
• The tapering length varies depending on the stitch
pattern and its tapering shape. Make a test stitch
on an extra piece of the fabric to check the tapering
length.
• If you stop the machine while sewing and change
the stitch width, center needle position or stitch
length, the machine will start tapered sewing from
the beginning.
