SECTION 4
SPECIAL STITCHES
The Special Stitches on your machine have a variety of practical and decorative uses.
In this section are recommended applications for each stitch. However, these stitches
can be used for many other sewing projects.
Before beginning a sewing project, check
the Fabric. Thread and Needle Table on
page 8 for the best needle and thread
combination for your fabric.
With
each
application,
recommended
settings have been given. These have
been highlighted for easy identification.
You can adjust each setting, however, as
desired.
ADJUSTING STITCH WIDTH
To widen or narrow a Special Stitch
pattern, move the stitch width lever off
Straight Stitch, [[] , toward any other
width setting at the right.
NOTE: The double patterns on your stitch
width indicator are for twin needle sew
ing. Attachments for this special feature
are available from your sewing center.
ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH
The stitch length indicator is numbered
0 to 4. The area between 0 and 1 will
produce very dense stitching. For more
open stitching, slide the stitch length lever
anywhere from 2 to 4. When sewing
special color coded stitches. The length
MUST be set in the 3-1/2 to 4 area.
ADJUSTING THREAD TENSION
Some Special Stitch patterns may require looser thread tension than others. To find the
proper tension for your application, make a test sample with the thread and fabric you
will be using.
Proper tension produces a smooth, even
stitch (1).
Too much tension will produce a tight
stitch (2). causing fabric to pucker.
Adjust tension by moving lever up toward
a looser setting.
Too little tension will produce a loose
stitch (3), causing loops in your pattern.
Adjust tension by moving lever down
toward a tighter setting.
ADJUSTING STITCH BALANCE
You can adjust the appearance of special color coded stitch patterns on the display
panel, by turning the Stitch balance ring (1) behind the pattern selector dial (2).
A correctly balanced Fagoting Stitch
should appear as illustrated (3).
When stitches are too close together (4),
separate them by turning the stitch
balance ring to the right.
When stitches are too far apart (5), bring
them closer together by turning the
stitch balance ring to the left.
