Pattern selector dial
It selects the stitch type. It has 9 positions, from "A" to T.
The letter "A" indicates buttonhole function. Each of the
other letters has two types of stitches. A decorative stitch
and a flexible stitch (illustration 1).
The stitch performed by the machine will depend on the
positions of the patttern selector dial together with the
stitch length dial (illustration 2).
When the stitch length dial is among positions 0 and 5, the
machine will perform decorative stitching as indicated by
the letter of the stitch selector. When the stitch length
dial is at the "I" mark, the machine will perform the
Flexible Stitch as indicated by the letter of the stitch
selector (illustration 2).
Check machine panel or the pattern table to learn the
correspondent stitch-letters.
Stitch balance selector
This selector (illustration 3) adjusts the flexible stitches.
Flexible stitches use the movement of the zigzag toge¬
ther with forward and reverse movement. These stitches
are quite useful, however they require adjustments,
made with the help of this selector. Learn more about this
function in the "Flexible Stitch Patterns" section (page
60). This selector also balances the left side of but¬
tonhole. The reverse push button balances the right side.
