SECTIOM 3. LEARN THF STITCHES

Adjustment of Stitch Length

The larger the number, the longer the stitch.

The stitch length can be adjusted from 1 to 4 mm

{approx. 1/32" to 5/32").

Position "R" is for rolled and narrow hemming.

Adjustment of Differential Feed Ratio

The differential feed ratio can be altered by turning the dial.
The number on the dial indicates the differential feed ratio between the main and the sub

feed motion.

1.0 indicates the neutral position-no differential feed.

How to Adjust

® If the sewn fabric is stretched, turn the dial

counter-clockwise (from 1.0 to 2.0) to avoid.

® If the sewn fabric is puckered, turn the dial clock

wise (from 1.0 to 0.7) to avoid.

NOTE:

Maximum differential feed ratio sets automatically to a maximum between 1.7 and 2.0 when the stitch length is set between
3.3 and 4.0.

Maximum stitch length and differential feed ratio cannot be set at the same time. If limits are exceeded for one control dial,
the other dial will automatically sat to its maximum.

The puckering may be eliminated by reducing thread tensions as well as adjusting the differential feed ratio.
