SIMPLICITY CUSTOM STITCH SELECTION

Each built-in stitch can be customized by making stitch length and stitch width adjustments. The stitches are color-coded to correspond with the stitch length and width settings. Select a stitch, then set the stitch length and width dials within the color range. These color ranges are guidelines and may vary for some sewing techniques.

STITCH SELECTION

STITCH SELECTOR DIAL [Fig. 1]

To select a stitch, turn the stitch selector dial until the letter that corresponds with the desired stitch shows in the window.

STITCH WIDTH DIAL [Fig. 2]

The stitch width dial is numbered 0 - 5, representing the various stitch widths in millimeters. The higher the number, the wider the stitch. The yellow color-coding between 3 and 5 represent the width range for making buttonholes.

To select a stitch width, turn the dial until the desired width setting is aligned with the indicator dot.

STITCH LENGTH DIAL [Fig. 3]

The stitch length dial is numbered 0 - 4 representing the various stitch lengths in millimeters. The higher the number, the longer the stitch.

To select a stitch length turn the dial until the desired length setting is aligned with the indicator dot.

When set at 0 the fabric will not feed under the presser foot.

NEEDLE PLATE SEAM GUIDES [Fig. 4]

The five seam guide markings on the right side of the needle plate are set at 1/8” intervals. The first mark is 1/2" from the needle; the second, 5/8” and so on. Align the fabric edge at a seam guide marking for a consistent seam width. The standard seam allowance width is 5/8”.

REVERSE SEWING LEVER [Fig. 5]

Use the reverse sewing lever to secure the beginning and ends of seams.

With the foot control depressed, push and hold the reverse lever down to sew in reverse. Release the lever to return to forward sewing.
