Stitch Length Dial

Depending on the selected stitch, you may need to
adjust the stitch length for best results. The numbers
marked on the stitch length dial represent the stitch
length in millimeters (mm) (1/25").
THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE LONGER THE
STITCH. With the "0" setting material is not fed. This
is used when sewing on a button.
The " " range is for making a satin stitch (close zigzag
stitch), which is used for making buttonholes and
decorative stitches. The position needed for making the
satin stitch varies according to the material and thread
being used. To determine the exact dial position, first
test the stitch and length settings on a scrap piece of
fabric to observe the feeding of the material.
