Stitch width dial & stitch length dial
Function of stitch width dial
Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag stitching
Function of stitch length dial for straight stitching
The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is 5mm;
however, the width can be reduced on any patterns. The width
increases as you move stitch width dial from "0" - "5". (1)
The Stitch width dial is also the control for the straight stitch
infinite needle position. "0" position is center and "5" is full left
needle position
.
Set the pattern selector dial to zig-zag.
The density of zig-zag stitches increase as the setting of stitch
length dial approaches "0".
Neat zig-zag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below. (2)
For straight stitch sewing, turn the pattern selector dial to the
straight stitch setting. Turn the stitch length dial, and the length
of the individual stitches will decrease as the dial approaches
"0". The length of the individual stitches will increase as the dial
approaches "4". (3) Generally speaking, use a longer stitch length
when sewing heavier weight fabrics or when using a thicker
needle or thread. Use a shorter stitch length when sewing lighter
weight fabrics or when using a finer needle or thread.
