Stitch Length Control
To lenghten a stitch, turn the dial toward
you. To shorten a stitch, you turn the dial
away from you. You will see 5 numbers on
the dial. These tell you the number of stitches
per inch when you are sewing.
NOTE: Study the orange, green, yellow and
blue sections on this control. These
are recommended ranges of stitch
length and color-coded to the stitches
pictured on the Stitch Selector.
The orange line between 0 and 24 is the
setting used for the shortest stitches such as
in satin stitching.
