Left Needle Position
If the needle position lever (B), shown in Fig. 26, is
moved upwards to the left, then the row of straight
stitching will be located to the left of the widest bight
of 4 mm. (see row C to D), while the needle will
vibrate to the right and the zig zag stitch will lie to
the right of the straight stitch (row D to E, Fig. 27).
The
left
needle
position
makes
it
possible
to
sew
attractive
ornamentation,
the
sewing
and
barring
of
buttonholes and for fastening ends of seams, for doing
Madeira work, and for sewing on buttons.
Right Needle Position
If the needle position lever B, Fig. 26 is down towards
the right, then the straight stitching will lie on the
right edge of the widest bight of 4 mm. (see row E
to F, Fig. 27). The needle will then vibrate from the
right to the left and will make zig zag stitches, as
shown in row F to G (Fig. 27).
With the right needle position, a person can make
many
more
different
types
of
attractive
ornamenta
tions.
Bight Limitations
The bight lever (A) as well as needle position lever (B)
can
be
regulated
while
sewing,
and
can
even
be
changed over between straight stitching and zig zag
stitching as well as between various widths of zig zag
stitches.
If
as
in
sewing
buttonholes
the
operator
wishes to limit the width of bight, then the stops
(C & D, Fig. 28) should be used. The stop (C) limits
the bight between 2 and 4 mm., and the stop (D) be
tween 0 and 2 mm.
