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, from 0.75, for
the shortest stitch, to 4 for the longest.
indicates, one range is for standard sewing and one is for
rolled edging or narrow seaming.
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)
Note: 0.75mm is located between the 0 and 1 on both
standard and rolled settings.
The stitch width adjusting dial is located above the stitch
length dial. (fig. A) The stitch width dial displays two sets of
numbers, indicating two width ranges. The larger size
numbers on the dial, 5.5 through 7.5mm, denote the stitch
width when the left needle is in use. The smaller size num-
bers, 3.0 through 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)
