Setting Stitch Length
The
stitch
control
dial
regulates
the
length
of
stitches.
The
numbers
6
to
20
represent
the
number
of
stitches
per
inch:
the
higher
the
number,
the
shorter
the
stitch.
Generally,
shorter
stitches
are
best
for
lightweight
fabric;
longer
ones
for
heavy
fabric.
Curved
seams,
bias-cut
seams,
and
scallops
require
short
straight
stitches
(15
to
20)
for
elasticity
and
smooth contours.
The
triangular
symbol
on
the
dial
represents
stitch lengths shorter than 20 per inch.
The
STRETCH
setting
is
used
for
straight
stretch
stitching
only.
