10. How to adjust stitch length
The stitch length dial on this machine is pre-set to 3mm for
normal sewing condition. Since the adjustment can be made
easily, adjust the stitch length to 4mm when sewing heavy weight
fabrics such as quilting and to 2mm when sewing light weight
fabrics such as lining fabric, crepe, etc. and you will obtain ex­
cellent seams without puckering.
11. How to adjust overedge seam width
Overedge seam width of this machine is set to 3.5 mm for normal sewing with right needle and 5.7 mm
with left needle however it can be increased up to 5 mm for overedge heavy weight fabrics with right needle
