14.3.13 Taking note of the stitch length setting
Very important: Take note of the following stitch length settings for straight stitch.
•
Stitch length approximately 3 for normal fabric thickness in the case of
cotton, e.g. towel
•
Stitch length approximately 4 for thicker fabrics, e.g. denim
•
Stitch length approximately 2.5 for thin fabrics, e.g. organza
W6 tip
If you select a stitch length that is too short, the machine may jam and get caught
up. The sewing machine’s needle plate or the hook may also be damaged.
14.3.14 Checking the thread tension
Do you have the feeling that the stitches are too loose or untidy?
Check the thread tension as follows:
•
Set the zigzag program
•
Stitch width 2.5; Stitch length 2.5
•
Always sew the zigzag stitch on a cotton tea towel folded double.
