■Changing the needle position
The needle position used as the baseline is
different for the straight stitch (left needle
position) and the straight stitch (center needle
position).
aStraight stitch (left needle position)
bStraight stitch (center needle position)
When the stitch width of the straight stitch (left
needle position) is set to its standard setting
(0.0mm), the distance from the needle position to
the right side of the presser foot is 12 mm
(1/2inch). If the stitch width is changed (between
0 and 7.0 mm (1/4inch)), the needle position will
also change. By changing the stitch width and
sewing with the right side of the presser foot
aligned with the edge of the fabric, a seam
allowance can be sewn with a fixed width.
