SPECIAL STITCH DIAL

There are certain types of utility stitches you will use often in your home

sewing. This control enables you to just dial the stitch you need for the task at hand.

All stitches printed in red on the dial must be sewn with the Special Stitch

Modifier set at the Red Dot.

To make the stitches printed in white on this dial, the Special Stitch Modifier must be set at the White Dot.

THE RED DOT SETTING

The setting illustrated above is the one used for most of your stitching. At this setting you may straight stitch, stretch stitch and make a simple zig zag stitch. As each stitch is dependent upon the settings of your other controls, carefully read the directions in the next section of the book for the various stitches.
