Stitch Width Dial & Stitch Length Dial
Function of stitch width dial
The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is 6mm;
however, the width can be reduced on any patterns. The
width increases as you move zigzag dial from "0" - "6". (1)
Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag stitching
Set the Pattern Selector Dial to zig-zag.
The density of zig-zag stitches increase as the setting of stitch
length dial approaches "0".
Standard zigzag stitches are usually achieved at "3" or below
Dense zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches. (2)
Function of stitch length dial for when straight stitching
For straight stitch sewing, turn the Pattern Selector Dial to
the straight stitch setting. Turn the Stitch Length Dial, and the
length of the individual stitches will decrease as the dial
approached "0". The length of the individual stitches will
increase as the dial approaches "4". Generally speaking, use
a longer stitch length when sewing heavier weight fabrics or
when using a thicker needle or thread. Use a shorter stitch
length when sewing lighter weight fabrics or when using a
finer needle or thread.
