sewing does not turn out well, sew trial stitches using
the same conditions as the real sewing, and adjust the
stitch pattern as explained below�
If the stitch pattern does not turn out well even after
making adjustments based on the stitch pattern
described below, make adjustments for each stitch
pattern individually�
