SELECTION OF STITCH:
STITCH LENGTH CONTROL
The stitch length control controls the forward feeding of
the fabric in ordinary sewing.
At 0 the fabric does not feed at all. With the control
arourid the symbol D for buttonhole, the shortest
stitch is available. At 4 is the longest — about 6 stitches
per inch on ordinary fabrics — but the control may be
set at any desired spot between 0 and 4 for a variety of
length, Turn the control to the left to lengthen and
to the right to shorten the stitch.
The stitch length number you choose is indicated by the
pointer above the control.
REVERSE BUTTON
When you wish to sew backward to tie the threads at the beginning or end of a seam
in ordinary sewing, press the Reverse Button as far as it will go, so that your machine
sews in reverse at approximately the same stitch length as forward stitch length. The
machine will sew backward as long as the button is held in.
