Function of stitch width dial

Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag stitching

Function of stitch length dial for when straight stitching

The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is 5mm;

however, the width can be reduced on any patterns. The

width increases as you move zigzag dial from "0" - "5". (1)

The Stitch Width Dial is also the control for the straight stitch

infinite needle position. "0" position is full left, "5" is full right

and between "2" and "3" is center needle position.

Set the Pattern Selector Dial to zig-zag.

The density of zig-zag stitches increase as the setting of stitch

length dial approaches "0".

Neat zig-zag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below. (2)

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

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.
