Stitch Length Dial

Control de longitud de puntada

Depending on the selected stitch, you may need to adjust the stitch length for best results.

The numbers marked on the stitch length dial represent the stitch length in millimeters (mm) (1/25 inch).

THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE LONGER THE STITCH. With the “0” setting, material is not fed. This is used when sewing a button.

The “F” range is for making a satin stitch (close zigzag stitch), which is used for making buttonholes and decorative stitches. The position needed for making the satin stitch varies according to the material and thread being used. To determine the exact dial position, first test the stitch and length settings on a scrap piece of fabric to observe the feeding of the material.

Según el tipo de puntada seleccionado, es posible que necesite ajustar la longitud de la puntada para obtener los mejores resultados.

Los números indicados en el control de longitud de puntada representan la longitud de la puntada en milímetros (mm) (1/25 pulg.).

CUANTO MAYOR SEA EL NÚMERO, MÁS LARGA SERÁ LA PUNTADA. Con el ajuste “0”, el material no se arrastra. Este ajuste se emplea para coser botones. El intervalo “F” está destinado a la costura para satén (puntada en zig-zag pequeña), empleada para realizar ojales y para costura decorativa. La posición adecuada para la costura para satén varía según el material y el hilo que se utilicen. A fin de determinar la posición exacta del control, realice primero una prueba de la puntada y la longitud elegidas en un retal para observar el avance del material.

CAUTION/PRECAUCIÓN

If the stitches are bunched together, lengthen the stitch length and continue sewing. Do not continue sewing without lengthening the stitch length, otherwise the needle may break and cause injury.

Si las puntadas quedan amontonadas, alargue la puntada y continúe con la costura. No siga cosiendo sin alargar la puntada, pues la aguja podría romperse y causar lesiones.
