SETTING STITCH LENGTH DIAL
When you use a Flexi-Stitch disc pattern,
stitch length is controlled with a
single
setting of the stitch length dial. No
further adjustment should be made.
To set turn dial until red bar* is centered
under the arrowhead ▼ on the control
panel.
NOTE : Stitching cannot be reversed
when the Flexi-Stitch disc dial
is on red Flexi-Stitch disc setting.
Use numerical setting for stitch length
adjustment when using a Fiexi-Stitch
disc to produce a basic zig-zag stitch
pattern.
ADJUSTING STITCH BALANCE
You may need to adjust the Fiexi-Stitch
disc dial when using a Fiexi-Stitch disc
pattern in order to achieve the correct
pattern appearance. Before you move the
Fiexi-Stitch disc dial from its neutral
position (red bar | centered under
arrowhead ▼), make a test sample. If
adjustment is required, stitch slowly and
move the dial as you sew.
• Turn the dial to the right to bring
stitches of the pattern together.
• Turn the dial to the left to separate
stitches of the pattern.
