KNOWING YOUR SEWING MACHINE  ——————————————————————————————————————————————

14

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

■ 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

● The dial cannot be turned past “· · · · + 

 -”. 

Do not forcefully turn the stitch length dial 
out of the allowable range.

. 

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.

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.
