ADJUSTING STITCH
LENGTH
Any Stitch length setting from 1 to 5
vill give you an open zig-zag stitch.
The higher the number, the more
open, or further apart your stitches will
be.
The area between 0 and 1 on the dial
is used for satin stitching, a series of
closely spaced plain zig-zag stitches
that form a smooth, satin-like surface.
NEEDLE THREAD TENSION
The needle-thread tension dial regu
lates the amount of tension on the
needle thread and lets you select just
the right setting for your fabric and
thread.
Zig-Zag stitching usually requires
less tension than straight stitching.
Proper tension produces a smooth,
even stitch (1).
Too much tension will produce a
tight stitch (2), causing fabric to pucker.
Loosen tension by turning dial to a
lower number.
Too little tension will produce a
loose stitch (3), causing loops in your
pattern. Tighten tension by turning dial
to a higher number.
