4.7
Stitch depth
Stitch depth means the distance between the highest plunger position and the outer
radius of the needle. The plunger forces the sewn item from underneath into the
Stitch plate opening, so that the needle penetrates the layers of material to the
desired depth.
small stitching depth:
-
the needle penetrates less deeply into the fabric layers
of the sewn item
large stitching depth:
-
the needle penetrates more deeply into the fabric
layers of the sewn item.
Too little or too great a stitch depth may result in missed stitches or stitching holes.
4.7.1
Adjusting the stitch depth (Fig. 2)
Using the stitch depth adjustment knob (4) on the right on the lower arm, the plunger
can be raised or lowered, according to the thickness of the material. Above this
adjustment knob is a plate showing how the knob should be turned, so that the
plunger can be lowered or raised.
Turning the knob clockwise:
-
plunger moves upwards,
needle penetrates deeper.
Turning the knob anticlockwise: -
plunger moves down,
needle penetrates less deeply.
