STITCH LENGTH DIAL REVERSING BUTTON AND DROPPING THE FEED

To change the length of the stitches proceed as follows:

Turn the dial so that the number for the required stitch

length is at setting mark. The numbers indicate the ap
proximate stitch lengths in mm. The lower the number,

the shorter the stitch.

REVERSE STITCH:

Press center of the stitch length dial (reversing button) and

hold for reverse stitching. Fabric will immediately start

feeding backwards. Release button and machine will

resume normal forward sewing.
Very useful for fastening ends of seams and darts without

having to tie threads, and for strengthening seams.

DROPPING THE FEED DOG:

Embroidering and darning are best carried out with the

feed mechanism disengaged. This is done by setting the

stitch length dial at ^ , which drops the feed and allows

the material to be moved freely under the needle.

The feed starts its normal function again as soon as you

turn the stitch length dial to "

" or beyond it.
