STITCH LENGTH CONTROL

The stitch length control regulates the length of the stitch you select. THE HIGHER THE

NUMBER-THE SHORTER THE STITCH. Turn only the outer rim of this control to set the stitch length.

The number on stitch length control indicates the approximate number of stitches per inch.

The stitch setting you use will be determined by the thickness of the fabric you are sewing.

A longer stitch setting should be used for thicker fabric or more layers of fabric. The middle range of the control is the 12 stitch per inch range which is the most commonly used.

Recommended stitch length settings are indicated in three colors. The colors are

color-coded with the stitches on the indicator panel.

The red marking _ between 0 and 24 is the setting used for the shortest stitches such as in satin stitching.

REVERSE STITCH LEVER

It is best to begin and end seams with a few stitches taken in reverse. This is called back tacking. Back tacking fastens the ends of the seams firmly and prevents raveling.

When reverse stitching is needed, push down the lever and hold there during sewing.

The fabric will immediately start feeding backwards and seam will be fastened.

STITCH MODIFIER

When using stretch stitches and making

buttonholes, you may need to make use of

the stitch modifier. This regulates the

movement of the fabric backwards and forwards to produce perfect stitches on fine or thick fabrics.

The .stitch modifier should be in neutral notched position for most materials.
