Selecting a Stitch Pattern and Stitch Length

To select a stitch, turn the Pattern Selection Knob (11). The selection knob may be turned in either direction. All stitches are preset in width, therefore, the stitch length is the only other necessary adjustment.

1.Turn the Balance Wheel (9) counterclockwise to raise the needle to its highest position.

2.Turn the Pattern Selection Knob to select the desired stitch pattern. The selection will appear in the Mechanical Pattern Indication Window Version (7) on the front of the machine.

3.To set the stitch length, turn the Stitch Length Dial (3), counterclockwise for a shorter stitch (lower number), clockwise for a longer stitch (higher number). See Table below.

Depending on the selected stitch, it may be necessary to adjust the stitch length for best results. The dial also adjusts upper thread tension. The “O” setting does not feed the material. This is used for sewing on a button. The “F” area is used for making a Satin Stitch (a close zigzag stitch).
