Stitch Width Control

(Model 14501, 14502, 14571, 14572 only)

The width of all stitches produced on this machine (except the straight stitch) can be

made narrower or wider by adjusting the stitch width control.

To decrease or increase the width of a stitch, slide the stitch width control from 1 - 5. The higher the number the wider the stitch.

When straight stitching, set this control at "1" to achieve uniform straight stitches.

NOTE: Study the colored sections on this control. These are recommended

ranges of stitch width and color-

coded to the stitches pictured on the Stitch Selector.

Besides these three controls, there are other controls on your machine as follows:

Reverse Stitch Lever

Push down and hold the lever to reverse the direction of your stitches. The machine will go forward again when you release the lever.

BACKTACKING

Secure your seams by taking the first few stitches in reverse. Then allow the machine

to go forward. This is called backtacking. Reverse the machine at the end of your seams as well.

Seam Guide Lines

The needle plate is marked with seam guide lines to help you stitch straight seams.

The standard 5/8" lines are bolder for your convenience.

The dimensions indicate the distance from the straight stitch needle position.

The cross lines are cornering guides to help you make square corners. See page 26 for detailed cornering instructions.
