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
num ber.
♦ To lengthen stitch length, turn dial counter­
clockwise to a higher
num ber.
