When sewing on 'stretch fabrics' or 'knits' it
may be advisable to adjust the stitch length
to quite different settings to those shown
above. Because of the wide range of these
fabrics which are now available it is not
possible to give specific settings. It is
suggested, therefore, that you make several
sewing
tests, with various settings to
determine the most suitable for the particular
job in hand.
NEEDLE PLATE
When first delivered, your machine will be
fitted with the standard 3.5 mm needle plate,
which will be found suitable for most general

needle plate for narrow and rolled hems. This
will be found in your accessory box.
