Stitch Length Dial
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").
THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE LONGER THE
STITCH. With the “0” setting material is not fed. This
is used when sewing on a button.
The “ ” 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.
1 Stitch length dial
2 Longer
3 Shorter
Stretch Stitching
Selecting a stretch stitch
Setting the stitch length dial to “ ” changes the
selected pattern to a stretch stitch.
Adjusting the stretch stitching
The machine is adjusted at the factory so that the
stretch stitching can be sewn with the stitch
length dial set to “ ” (standard position).
If different types of fabric or thread are used or the
pattern does not have the correct shape, turn the
dial toward either “+” or “-” to adjust the stitch.
1 Makes fine stitches
2 Standard position
3 Makes rough stitches
Note
The dial cannot be turned past “· · · · + -”.
Do not forcefully turn the stitch length dial
out of the allowable range.

Reverse Sewing Lever
You can use reverse sewing for backtacking and
reinforcing seams.
To sew in reverse, push the reverse sewing lever in
as far as possible and hold it in that position while
you lightly push the foot controller. To sew forward,
release the reverse sewing lever. The machine will
then sew forward.
Drop Feed Lever (if the machine is
equipped with a drop feed lever)
Use the drop feed lever to raise or lower the feed
dogs according to the job that is being done. When
monogramming, embroidering, darning or sewing on
buttons, the feed dogs should be lowered so that the
garment will not be fed.
1 Drop feed lever
2 Up position: Feed dogs are down.
3 Down position: Feed dogs are up.
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.
