how to adjust stitch lengi
When you are preparing to do zig-zag stitching, make
a test sample with the fabric and thread you plan to
use so that you can adjust the stitch length and needle-
thread tension properly. If you need to adjust pres
sure, see page 7.
For open zig-zag stitching, choose any stitch length
from 6 to 20j depending on how open you wish the
stitches to be. If you wish a closely packed zig-zag
stitch:
1, Move Stitch Length Selector to bottom of FINE
a^ea.
2, Run machine at slow speed,
3, Gradually tighten thumb nut by turning it to right,
until stitches are closely spaced and form a smooth
surface.

NEEDLETHREAD TENSION
All zig-zag stitching requires less tension than straight
stitching; and closed zig-zag stitching requires even
less tension than open zig-zag stitching. Furthermore,
the wider the stitch, the lighter the tension on the
thread must be. Thus, stitch width 5 requires the least
tension; narrower stitching requires somewhat more.
Notice the stitching on your sample. If the stitching
looks too taut, or if the fabric is puckering, lower the
needle-thread tension by turning the Tension Dial to
a lower number.
