ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH
When you are preparing to do pattern stilclv-
ing, make a test sampie with the fabric and
thread you plan to use so that you can adjust
the stitch length correctly.
Any sitch length setting from 1 to 4 will give
you an open stitch pattern of whichever de­
corative stitch pattern you select. The higher
the number, the more open, or farther apart,
your stitch will be. The area between 0 and 1
of die selector is used for the fine adjust­
ment of satin stitching (see page 2Л).
For stretch stitch patterns, stitch length is
controlled with a singio setting of the stitch
length selector. Simpiy rotate it untii the co­
loured bar is under the У symbol above
the dial.
