Pleating

●Move adjusting lever to space setting desired for pleats of either 6 or 12 stitches apart.

●Activate adjusting finger.

●For deepest pleat, turn adjusting screw in (clockwise) to its maximum. For shallower pleats, turn adjusting screw out (counter-clockwise).

●Set stitch length. A short stitch places pleats close together. A longer stitch separates the pleats for a greater distance.

●Insert fabric to be pleated between the blue blades and through the separator guide.

●Lower presser bar and stitch.

Group Pleating

By using the star setting (plain stitching) alternately with the 6 or 12 setting, pleats are formed in groups. Even spacing between groups is easily accomplished by counting the number of stitches.
