Stitch Settings; Setting The Stitch Width; Setting The Stitch Length - Brother NV4500D Operation Manual

STITCH SETTINGS

When you select a stitch, your machine automatically selects the appropriate stitch width, stitch length,
and upper thread tension. However, if needed, you can change any of the individual settings.
Note
• Settings for some stitches cannot be changed (refer to the "STITCH SETTING CHART" at the end of
this manual).
• If you turn off the machine or select another stitch without saving stitch setting changes (see "Saving
Your Stitch Settings" on page 60), the stitch settings will return to their default settings.

Setting the Stitch Width

Follow the steps below when you want to change
the zigzag stitch pattern width.
Memo
• For an alternate method of changing the
stitch width using the speed controller, see
page 82.
Example:
Press to narrow the zigzag stitch pattern width.
→ The value in the display gets smaller.
Press to widen the zigzag stitch pattern width.
→ The value in the display gets bigger.
Memo
• Press to return the stitch width to the
original setting.
Note
After adjusting the stitch width, slowly turn the hand-
wheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that
the needle does not touch the presser foot. If the nee-
dle hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or
break.

Setting the Stitch Length
