ADJUSTING STITCH WIDTH AND LENGTH

Dark grey box indicates the Auto/default value set automatically when the pattern is selected.

For the Zigzag Pattern the stitch length is 2 mm and the stitch width is 5 mm.

The light grey boxes indicate all the possible personal preference options available to set manualy.

Note: The values shown in the chart are actual sewing lengths and widths and do not correspond to the scale and number markings on the sewing machine.

SATIN STITCH

This is a closely spaced attractive stitch for appliqué, bar- tacking, etc. Slightly loosen the top thread tension and manually adjust the stitch length between 0.5 and 2.0 for satin stitching. Use a backing of stabilizer or interfacing for sheer materials to avoid puckering.
