16. DIFFERENTIAL FEED

• Differential feed is a system which “stretches” or

“gathers” the fabric, when the amount of feed of

front feed dogs in relation to the rear feed dogs is

changed.

• The differential feed ratio ranges from 1:0.6~1:2.0.

Adjustment is made by means of the differential

feed adjusting dial pictured at right.

• Use of differential feed is very effective in stretch

fabrics.

• Setting “N” is differential feed adjusting dial setting

for ratio 1:1.

To set the differential feed adjusting dial for gathering

• Set differential feed adjusting dial above setting “N”.

Setting of adjusting dial depends on material being
sewn as well as the amount of desired gather.

Therefore set dial to suit the fabric and test sew before

sewing your garment.

Note: For normal stitching, set differential feed

adjusting dial to graduation “N”.

To set the differential feed adjusting dial for stretch

• Set differential feed adjusting lever knob below

setting “N”.
