Selecting a Stitch Pattern and Stitch Length
To select a stitch, turn the Pattern Selection Knob (11). The selection knob may be turned in
either direction. All stitches are preset in width, therefore, the stitch length is the only other
necessary adjustment.
1. Turn the Balance Wheel (9) counterclockwise to raise the needle to its highest
position.
2. Turn the Pattern Selection Knob to select the desired stitch pattern. The selection will
appear in the Mechanical Pattern Indication Window Version (7) on the front of the
machine.
3. To set the stitch length, turn the Stitch Length Dial (3),
counterclockwise for a shorter stitch (lower number), clockwise for a
longer stitch (higher number). See Table below.
Depending on the selected stitch, it may be necessary to adjust the
stitch length for best results. The dial also adjusts upper thread
tension. The “O” setting does not feed the material. This is used for
sewing on a button. The “F” area is used for making a Satin Stitch (a
close zigzag stitch).
