Green: Geometric decorative stitches

Blue: Built-in buttonhole

Gold: Stretch stitches

also has a stretch stitch setting. To select a stretch stitch, set the control at" • STRETCH".

Adjusting Stretch Stitch Balance

In stretch stitch sewing, the stitch length control should be in the detent position between "S" and "1_'( • position) for most materials. Depending upon the type of fabric used, you may need to adjust this control to match forward stitches of stretch sewing with reverse motion stitches. To shorten stretch stitches, turn the control slightly toward "S". To lengthen, turn toward "1_'
