SETTING THE STITCH LENGTH

stitch and 9 is the longest, but the dial may be set at any spot between markings for a variety of
lengths. Turn the dial to the right to lengthen and to the left to shorten the stitch. The number
of the stitch length you choose should appear below the dot on the control plate.
