■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).
ab
aStraight stitch (left needle position) b Straight stitch (center needle position)
When the stitch width of the straight stitch (left
needle position) is set to its standard setting (0.0 3 mm), the distance from the needle position to
the right side of the presser foot is 12 mm (1/2 inch). If the stitch width is changed (between 0 and 7.0 mm (1/4 inch)), 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.
