LOCKED SETTING
Numerals on the left side of the indicator repre­
sent the number of stitches per inch. Numerals on
the right side represent the number of millimeters
per stitch.
The upper indented area of the indicator repre­
sents stitch lengths above 20 per inch or stitches
less than one millimeter in length.
The lower indented area of the indicator allows
the No. 6 stitch length setting to be „locked" in
place when stitching folds, pleats or multiple layers
of heavy fabric.
To set stitch length: Release pointer by turning
thumb nut to the left, as shown. Position lever for
desired stitch length. Tighten pointer against the
plate by turning thumb nut to the right.
Once the pointer has been positioned, reverse
stitching is accomplished by raising the lever to
its highest point. The No. 6 „locked" position can­
not be reversed.
