Length of the stitch is regulated by Stitch Length Dial (Fig.30)

Turn the dial to right to lengthen and to left to shorten the stitch. Near point A

Fig. 30 is the shortest stitch and near point B Fig. 30 is the longest.

In general, short stitches are best for light weight fabrics; longer ones for heavy

fabrics. Most normal sewing is done with stitch length set about 12 stitches per
inch.

REVERSE STITCHING

Press in center button of Stitch Length

Dial (Fig. 30) and hold for reverse

stitching. Fabric will immediately start

feeding backwards. Release button and

A few reverse stitches are very useful

for fastening beginning or end of seams

and darts without having to tie threads.
