Stitch Width Dial & Stitch Length Dial

Function of stitch width dial

When doing a zig zag or a decorative pattern you can alter

the width from 1mm to 6mm. To obtain a very narrow stitch,

set the dial to 1, to obtain the maxinum 6mm width, set the

dial to 6. When the dial is set to 0, you will obtain a straight

stitch. (1)

Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag stitching

Set the pattern selector dial to zig zag or any other

decorative pattern.

The density of zig zag or decorative stitches increases as the

setting of the stitch length dial approaches "0". The smaller

the number the closer, or denser the stitches will be.

Standard zigzag stitches are usually achieved at "3" or below. (2)

Dense zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches. (2)

Function of stitch length dial for when straight stitching

For straight stitch sewing, turn the pattern selector dial to the

straight stitch setting. Turn the stitch length dial, and the

length of the individual stitches will decrease as the dial

approached "0". The length of the individual stitches will

increase as the dial approaches "4". Generally speaking, use

a longer stitch length when sewing heavier weight fabrics or

when using a thicker needle or thread. Use a shorter stitch

length when sewing lighter weight fabrics or when using a

finer needle or thread.

- The standard setting for sewing a seam is between 2 and 3.

- For basting purposes, set the stitch length all the way to 4

(longest).
