Stitch Width Dial & Stitch Length Dial
Sewing
Function of stitch width dial
Function of stitch length dial while zig-
zag stitching
Function of stitch length dial for when
straight stitching
The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag
stitching is 5mm; however, the width can be
reduced on any patterns. The width
increases as you move zigzag dial from "0"
- "5".
The stitch width dial is also the control for
the straight stitch infinite needle position.
"0" is center needle position, "5" is full left
needle position.
Set the Pattern Selector Dial to zig-zag.
The density of zig-zag stitches increase as
the setting of stitch length dial approaches
"0".
Neat zig-zag stitches are usually achieved
at "2.5" or below.
Dense zig-zag stitches are called satin
stitches.
For straight stitch sewing, turn the Pattern
Selector Dial to the straight stitch setting.
Turn the Stitch Length Dial, and the length
of the individual stitches will decrease as
the dial approached "0". The length of the
individual stitches will increase as the dial
approaches "4". Generally speaking, use a
longer stitch length when sewing heavier
weight fabrics or when using a thicker
needle or thread. Use a shorter stitch length
when sewing lighter weight fabrics or when
using a finer needle or thread.
