ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH

The stitch length dial controls the length of

stitches. The numbers around the edge of the

dial express stitch length in mm; the lower

the number, the shorter the stitch. Generally,

shorter stitches are best for lightweight fabric:

longer stitches for heavy fabric. The area from

0 to 1 is used for the adjustment of zig-zag

satin stitching (see page 23),

Setting the Dial

♦ Turn dial so that stitch length desired is

positioned under ▼ symbol.

♦ To shorten stitch length, turn dial clockwise

to a lower number.

♦ To lengthen stitch length, turn dial counter

clockwise to a higher number.
