STRAIGHT STITCHING
The Straight Stitch Needle Plate (C) and Presser Foot (D) help prevent skipped stitches
and control fabric when straight stitching around a curve or close to the fabric edge.
CAUTION: Straight Stitch Needle Plate
and Presser Foot should be used for
straight stitch sewing only.
Always change back to the appropriate
needle plate and presser foot when not
straight stitching.

ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH
The stitch length indicator is numbered
0 - 4 . The lower numbers are shorter
stitches. Shorter stitches are best for light
weight fabrics; longer ones for heavy
fabrics. To adjust the length of your
stitches, slide the stitch length lever to
the left or right.
ADJUSTING THREAD TENSION
The thread tension of your sewing machine has been pre-set in the auto position to suit
most sewing applications. This auto tension feature eliminates the need for you to
adjust the tension lever for the majority of your sewing projects.
Proper tension will produce identical
stitches on both the front and back of
your fabric (1).
Too much tension will produce a tight
stitch, causing a puckered seam (2).
Adjust tension by moving lever up toward
a looser ’ setting.
Too little tension will produce a loose
stitch, causing loops in your seams (3).
Adjust tension by moving lever down
toward a tighter "-i-" setting.
