The perfect “marriage” between feed pressure and feed dog settings is very important for successful stitching. Because the PQ-series machines can handle such a wide range of fabrics, you may need to make adjustments in settings to get the desired balanced stitch, based on your fabric, thread and technique. Adjustments might be made to the presser foot dial, thread tension, stitch length and occasionally bobbin tension, based on fabric, thread and needle used. This Workbook is a summary of your manual and the instruction sheets, which come with optional feet. The suggested settings for each foot are a place to start in your experiments. See your manual for other suggestions.

In the chart at right, note that the feed dog settings are color keyed to the feed pressure levels. Refer to this chart as you make your samples.

The dial above the needle controls the upper thread tension. Start with about 4 and see if this gives you a balanced stitch. Feel free to loosen or tighten as needed.

The big dial on the right front of the machine controls the stitch length. Many projects use a setting between 2 and 4. Using 6 or 7 provides a long basting stitch.
