Regulating Stitch Length
The EZ Set™ Stitch Length Plate (
31
) sets both forward and
reverse stitch length� To set the stitch length, loosen the two
thumbscrews (
A
), slide the posts up or down, and tighten the
screws� The thumbscrew stops (
B
) restrict the movement
of the Feed Regulator Lever (
C
), which is spring loaded to
always rest against the upper stop�
Sewing in Reverse
Position the needle fully up or fully down and push the Feed
Regulator Lever (
C
) all the way down� Hold the lever down
until reverse sewing is completed� The lever is spring loaded
and will return to its forward position when you release
it� When the machine is operating at 1/4 speed or faster,
reverse can be engaged on the fly.
DO NOT
rotate the balance wheel in the wrong direction�
Always rotate the balance wheel by grabbing the top of the
wheel and rotating down toward you (
32
)�
Turning Corners
Turn the balance wheel toward you until the needle is at its
lowest point and then rises about 1/8 inch (3mm)� Then, lift
the presser foot (p� 20,
29
), rotate the material to the new
direction (the needle acts as an axis) (
33
), drop the foot and
start sewing in the new direction�
DO NOT
attempt to change sewing directions when the
machine is at rest with the needle positioned mid-stroke�
This will cause a skipped stitch or needle deflection.
Rotating the material while the machine is at rest with the
presser foot down may bend the needle�
