Function of stitch width dial
Function of stitch length dial while zigzaging
(for models A & B)
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 zigzag dial from "0" - "5". For twin
needle sewing, never set the width wider than "3" (1).
The stitch width dial is also the control for the straight stitch
infinite needle position. "0" position is full left, "5" is full right
and between "2" and "3" is center needle position.
(for models A, B & C)
The density of zigzag stitches increase as the setting of stitch
length dial approaches "0".
Neat zigzag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below (2).
Closed up zigzag stitches are called satin stitches (2).
For straight stitch sewing, generally speaking, the thicker the
fabric, thread and needle, the longer the stitch should be.
