ADJUSTING WIDTH OF THE DESIGN
Before moving stitch width selector, always
raise needle above fabric.
To produce a stitch pattern, th^ stitch width
selector must be moved from \ toward the
right. The further you move the selector lever
toward the right, the wider your stitch will be.
ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH
When you are preparing to do pattern stitch­
ing, make a test sample with the fabric and
thread you plan to use so that you can adjust
the stitch length correctly.
Any stitch length setting from 1 to 4 will give
you an open stitch pattern of whichever de­
corative stitch pattern you select. The higher
the number, the more open, or farther apart,
your stitch will be. The area between 0 and 1
of rhe selector is used for the fine adjust­
ment of satin stitching (page 34).
For stretch stitch patterns, stitch length is
controlled with a single setting of the stitch
length selector. Simply rotate it until the co­
loured bar is under the ▼ symbol above
the dial.
ADJUSTING STITCH BALANCE
When you are using stretch stitch patterns,
you may need to adjust the stitch balance dial
in order to correct the appearance of the
stitch.
Before you move the dial from Its neutral po­
sition ( ◄ symbol on dial aligned with line
— on panel), make a test sample. If adjust­
ment is required stitch slowly and move the
dial as illustrated.
® Turn dial down to bring stitches of the pat­
terns together (ill. A).
• Turn dial up to separate stitches of the pat­
terns (ill. B).
Always return the dial to its neutral position
after sewing stretch stitch patterns.
