THE HIGHER THE NUMBER-THE SHORTER THE STITCH. The stitch setting you use will be determined by the thickness of the fabric you are sewing. A longer stitch setting should be used for thicker fabric or more layers of fabric. The middle range of the control is the 10-1 2 stitch per inch range which is the most commonly used. A basting stitch is made by using the longest possible stitch setting -6 stitches per inch. The marking _ on this control is the setting used for the shortest stitches such as in Satin Stitching. STITCH WIDTH CONTROL I m ilmll m m This control regulates the width of the stitch you select. THE HIGHER THE NUMBER -THE WIDER THE STITCH. You may vary your zigzag stitch width by adjusting this control to the setting you desire. This control must be on Red Dot in order to do straight stitching. REVERSE STITCH CONTROL It is best to begin and end seams with a few stitches taken in reverse. This is called back tacking. Back tacking fastens the ends of the seams firmly and prevents raveling. When reverse stitching is needed, turn the control clockwise and hold there during sewing. The fabric will immediately start feeding backwards and seam will be fastened. FEED DOG CONTROL The feed dog control is located on the machine behind accessory box. There are a few times when you want to control the feeding of the fabric yourself. When the control is pushed down, the feed dogs drop and do not move the fabric. For most of your sewing, turn the control to the up position. (Feed dog up). SPECIAL STITCH DIAL There are certain types of utility stitches you will use often in your home sewing. This control enables you to just dial the stitch you need for the task at hand. THE RED DOT SETTING The Red Dot setting illustrated is the one used for most of your stitching- either straight or simple zigzag. When the stitch width is set on the Red Dot and the Special Stitch Dial on the Red Dot setting, you may straight stitch. For a simple zigzag stitch, adjust the stitch width control to the desired setting, with the dial remaining on the Red Dot setting.
