6.8 Adjusting the stitch width
The stitch width can be adjusted in two different ways.
• Needle position
• Cutting width
Changing the stitch width via the needle position
The stitch width can vary by the choice of needle position by 2 mm.
> To sew a wide stitch, insert the left needle.
> To sew a narrow stitch, insert right needle.
Changing the stitch width via the cutting width
The stitch width can vary by adjusting the knife position. The scale of the cutting width dial determines the
distance between the left overlock needle (LN) and the knife in mm. For the right overlock needle, the set
scale value is reduced by 2 mm.
> To adjust the stitch width, set the cutting width dial between 5 − 9 mm.
6.9 Adjusting the stitch length
The stitch length setting corresponds to the feed dog movement in mm.
The common stitch length for overlock stitches is 2.5 mm, for coverstitches 3.5 mm and for combo stitches 3
mm. Stitch lengths of approx. 1 mm are e. g. used for rolled hems, while stitch lengths of approx. 4 mm are
used for gathering or sewing on an elastic band. The stitch length can be infinitely adjusted between 0.8 –
4.5 mm while sewing.
> Tap on the stitch length icon on the sewing screen and adjust the value.
To enable a «blind operation», the setting range is displayed larger when the machine is running.
