SETTING STITCH WIDTH

DECORATIVE STITCHING

This

machine

can

make

beautiful

decorative

and

embroidery

stitches

by

means

of

various

discs

supplied

with

the machine.

The

movements

of

the

needle

are

controlled

by

the

disc.

The

stitch

length

specified

is

for

an

average

pattern

of

decorative

sewing.

When

a

looser

or

tighter

pattern

of

stitching

is

preferred,

it

is

achieved

by

setting

the

stitch

length

to

a

shorter

or

longer

stitch

to

suit

your

preference.

The

satin

stitch

requires

no

pattern

disc and can be any width

from

1 - 4.

It is

necessary

to

reduce

the

upper

thread

tension

somewhat

for decora-

tive

stitching.

This

will

prevent

the

material

from

puckering

and

will

prevent

the

bobbin

thread

fi:om

coming

up

on

the

top of

the

fabric.
