Edger
Aa shown by the illustration, the stitch hole is placed adjacent to the right preaser
foot edge. The foot, without the lateral quitter guide attached, is particularly suitable
for edgestitching, facings, collars etc. and inserting zips.
When the adjustable edge guide is attached to the edger, the latter can be used for
quilting work as shown in Fig. 22 below.
The guide is first
fixed at the desired
distance from the
edger. Then make
a seam and shift
the material to the
right so that the
seam just made ism
line with the guide.
Then
sew
a
new
seam following the
direction
of
the
first seam with the
leg of the guide,
and so on. After¬
wards,
the
same
operations are ef¬
fected in the trans¬
verse direction.

Adjustment of Stitch Width
At the right-hand top of the body of the'machine is placed the Control Knob 12 (Fig. 2)
which serves to adjust the stitch width. Above the knob is a sight hole in which the
width of the seam is indicated in figures. For plain sewing, the knob is turned to show
the numeral 0, i. e. that u straight stitch can be produced. When turning the knol> to
the right, the numerals 1-4 will appear. The higher the numeral, the wider the zigzag
stitch will be. When sewing zigzag, this knob may be operated os desired. When the
machine is not running, do not turn the knob unless the needle is raised from the
material in its extreme position.

an arrow. If the arrow points straight up, the needle will be deflected evenly to the
left and the right (Fig. 23a). Rotation to the right to point the arrow obliquely to the
