c)
Setting the presser foot
pressure
Here you can set the pressure with
which the material is pressed onto the
stitch plate.
• Using the little screwdriver supplied,
loosen the screw at the top of the
front cover.
Open the
front cover
.
Now use the
lever
to set the presser
foot pressure, for example
"0"
if
no pressure
is to be applied,
for example for darning with free-
hand stitches
"1"
for
light
fabrics (curtains)
"2"
for
average
fabrics (normal)
"3"
for
heavy
fabrics.
d)
Stitch width
Here you can set the width of seam for
zigzag patterns.
First raise the needle fully, by turning
the handwheel.
Select a stitch width from 0...5 using
the
selector wheel
(0 = narrow /
5 = wide)
Important:
If the
twin needle
has been
inserted, the selector wheel should be
set to "3" maximum. If a higher setting
is selected, the twin needle will break!
e)
Stitch length
Here you can set the speed at which
the material is carried forward when
sewing. This therefore determines the
gap (length) between the stitch points.
Select a stitch length on the stitch
length selector wheel (0 = short /
4 = long).
