Correcting Distorted Stitch Patterns

Uneven stitch patterns can be the result of various sewing
conditions. Sewing speed, fabric type, fabric layers and
unstable fabrics are some of the factors that effect the
feeding of the fabric under the presser foot. Always check
that you are following the machine settings for the stitch
pattern you are stitching.
When test sewing stitch patterns be sure to have the
identical stitching setup as on your project. Example:
Thread, fabric, stabilizers, presser foot and needle.
The feed balancing dial will help correct distortions in
stretch stitch patterns, lettering, decorative stitch patterns
and the automatic buttonholes.

1 Feed balancing dial
2 Neutral position
3 Setting mark

Programing Tip:
Before adjusting the stitch balance dial, check that you are
following the machine settings shown on the LCD screen
for this stitch pattern. Presser foot pressure, presser foot
used, amount of stabilization, tension settings and sewing
speed all effect stitch pattern formation.

Adjusting a stretch stitch pattern
Example:
Pattern 31 in Mode 2
If the stitch pattern is compressed, turn the feed balancing
dial in the direction of “+”.
If the stitch pattern is drawn out, turn the feed balancing
dial in the direction of “–”.

Letters and numbers
Example:
Pattern 08 in Mode 4
If the stitch pattern is compressed, turn the feed balancing
dial in the direction of “+”.
If the stitch pattern is drawn out, turn the feed balancing
dial in the direction of “–”.

Stitch balance of the auto buttonhole
The stitch balance of the right and left rows on the auto
buttonhole may vary depending on conditions of sewing.
If the right row is denser, turn the dial in the direction of “+”.
If the left row is denser, turn the dial in the direction of “–”.

Programing Tip:
Always return the feed balancing dial to its neutral
position when the sewing project is finished.
