TENSION
Some FfexhStnch patterns require more
needle-thread tension than others. Make
a test sample with the fabric and thread
you plan to use so that you can adjust
tension to suit the stitch you have chosen.
Set the tension dial on 3 or 4 for your test
sample. Examine the stitching. If the
fabric puckers, decrease tension by
turning the dial to a lower number.

SETTING STITCH LENGTH DIAL
When you use a Floxt-Stkch pattern,
stitch length is controlled with a single
setting of the stitch control dial. Simply
rotate it until the red bar is under the
arrowhead above the dial.
ADJUSTING STITCH BALANCE
You may need to adjust the Fioxi-Stitch
dial in order to balance the pattern (see
illustration).
Before you move the Ffexi-Stitch dial
from its neutral position (red bar at
centre), make a test sample. If adjustment
is required, stitch slowly and move the
dial as you sew.
# Turn the dial to the right to bring
stitches of the pattern together.
#Turn the dial to the left to separate
stitches of the pattern.
