The stitch length selector controls the
length of stitches. The numbers around
the edge of the selector dial express stitch
length in stitches per inch; the higher the
number, the shorter the stitch. Generally,
shorter stitches are best for lightweight
fabric; longer ones for heavy fabric. The
FINE area is used for the adjustment of
zig-zag satin stitching.
