Feed-dog and fabric
feed
Feed-dog and stitch
length
With
each
stitch the
feed-dog
moves
forward
by
one
step.
The
length of
this step
is
determined by
the stitch
length
selected.
With
an
extremely short
stitch length, the
steps
are
also
short.
The
fabric
moves
under
the
foot
quite
slowly,
even at
full
sewing speed.
Buttonholes,
satin stitch
and
decorative stitches
are
allsewn
with
a very
short stitch
length.

Feed-dog and fabric
feed
The
feed-dog
can
work
normally
when
the
foot
is
level.
lf the
foot
is
at
an angle,
e.g. when sewing
over
thick
to
thin
or
vice-versa,
the
feed-dog
cannot
grip
and
feed the fabric
and
the
fabric
hangs
up.
To
solve
this
problem,
place one,
two
or three
compensating plates
as
required
behind
the
needle
under
the
presser
foot.
To
correct
the
height
in
front
of the
foot,
place
one
or
more plates
to
the
right of the
foot
close
to
the
needle. Sew
until
the
foot
is
level again and
remove
the
plates.
Feed-dog and sewing corners
The gap
between
the
two
rows of teeth
is
relaiively
large
due
to the
width
of
the stitch
plate
hole.
When sewing
corners only
a
small
section of
the
fabric
is
actually
on the
feed-dog
so
that it
cannot
grip the
fabric
well.
Correct
this
by
placing
one
or
more
compensating
plates
as
close
as
possible
to the edge
of
the fabric.
