Baby Lock Imagine Wave (Previous Model) (BLE3ATW) Instruction and Reference Guide - Manual (Page 18)

The stitch length / rolled hem adjusting dial is conveniently located
just to the left of the front cover, near the base plate (fig. A). The
dial shows two stitch-length ranges, each numbered from 1, for the
shortest stitch, to 4 for the longest. As the dial indicates, one range
is for standard sewing and one is for rolled edging or narrow seam-
ing.
Simply turn the dial aligning the desired setting with the indicator on
the machine. A stitch length of 3mm, or about 10 stitches per inch
is ideal for seaming and overedging most fabrics. For overedging
or seaming very lightweight fabrics, you may prefer a shorter stitch
length. When sewing heavier fabrics, you may choose to lengthen
the stitch (fig. B).
The stitch width adjusting dial is located above the stitch length dial
(fig. A). The stitch width dial displays two sets of numbers, indicat-
ing two width ranges. The larger numbers at each end of the dial,
5.5 and 7.5mm, denote the stitch width dial when the left needle is
in use. The smaller numbers, 3.0 and 5.0mm, apply when the right
needle is in use.
Adjusting the stitch width moves the upper cutting blade. It also
moves the stitch fingers further apart or closer together for complete
fabric support with any stitch width.
The stitch width is variable by the placement of Right and Left
needles and the stitch width dial positions. (Fig.B)
