Stitch Length Control

The stitch length control regulates the length of stitch, and also has a stretch stitches setting.

The higher the number, the longer the stitch.

"0" means no feed.

Depending upon your fabric or your own preference in buttonholes, you may alter the buttonhole stitch density within the blue buttonhole range on the stitch length

control.
