STITCH WIDTH CONTROL
This control controls the swing of the
needle from left to right for various
widths of stitches. At 0 the straight
stitch results in regular sewing. Also,
special stitch patterns are made with
this control at 0.
With the control to the right from 0
position, the needle takes a large swing
resulting in a wide column of stitches
no matter which pattern is selected.
RELATING STITCH LENGTH TO
STITCH WIDTH
When the Stitch Width Control is set at
one particular width (such as 4), the
stitch length control will now control
how close those stitches come together.
At length 0, the fabric does not move,
resulting in, a bar of stitches formed one
on top of the other, as is used in button
sewing. At the Buttonhole symbol mark
or near 0, the feed pulls the fabric
through slowly, resulting in a dense
column of stitches called a satin stitch.
A length 4, a very long open zigzag
results.
