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 inch).

THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE LONGER THE STITCH.

With the “0"setting, material will not feed. This is used

when sewing a button.

The range is for making a satin stitch, which is used for

making b

uttonholes and few 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.

When you desire to sew stretch stitches ( ) turn stitch length to gold
