For free-motion sewing (darning, embroidery, quilting, etc.).
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 very short. The fabric
moves away from the foot quite slowly, even at full sewing speed. e.g. button-
holes, satin stitch and decorative stitches are all sewn with a very short stitch
length.
Let the fabric feed evenly.
ATTENTION!
Pulling, pushing or holding back the fabric can result in dama-
ges of the needle and stitch plate.
Pulling, pushing or holding back the fabric will result in uneven stitches.
