FORWARD
Numerals on the indicator represent the number
of stitches per inch.
The upper indented area of the indicator
represents **fine'' stitch lengths above 20.
The lower indented area of the indicator allows
the #6 stitch length setting to be “locked’’ in place
when stitching folds, pleats or multiple layers of
heavy fabric.
To set stitch length: Release pointer by turning
thumb nut to the left, as shown. Position lever for
desired stitch length. Tighten pointer against the
plate by turning thumb nut to the right.
Once the pointer has been positioned, reverse
stitching is accomplished by raising the lever to
its highest point. The #6 “locked” position cannot
be reversed.
