4. Adjusting Stitch Length

Any stitch length setting from 1 to 4 mm

will give you an open zig-zag stitch.

The higher the number^ the more open, of

farther apart your stitches will be.

The area between 0 and 1 on the dial is used

for the adjustment of closely spaced plain

zig-zag

stitches

that

from

a

smooth,

satin-like surface. (Refer to page

39

for

information on satin stitching.)

5. Needle-Thread Tension

The needle-thread tension dial regulates the

amount of tension on the needle thread and

lets you select just the right setting for your

fabric and thread. The numbers on the dial

eliminate guess-work in duplicating settings.

Zig-zag stitching requires less tension than

straight stitching. Notice the stitching on

your test sample. The stitches should lie fiat

against the fabric with-out causing the fabric

to pucker, if the stitches are not fiat and the

fabric is puckering, lower the tension by

turning the dial to a lower number.
