c) Setting the presser foot
pressure
Here you can set the pressure with
which the material is pressed onto the
stitch plate.
• Using the little screwdriver supplied,
loosen the screw at the top of the
front cover.
ᕡ Open the front cover.
ᕢ Now use the lever to set the presser
foot pressure, for example
"0" if no pressure is to be applied,
for example for darning with free-
hand stitches
"1" for light fabrics (curtains)
"2" for average fabrics (normal)
"3" for heavy fabrics.
d) Stitch width
Here you can set the width of seam for
zigzag patterns.
ᕣ First raise the needle fully, by turning
the handwheel.
ᕤ Select a stitch width from 0...5 using
the selector wheel (0 = narrow /
5 = wide)
Important: If the twin needle has been
inserted, the selector wheel should be
set to "3" maximum. If a higher setting
is selected, the twin needle will break!
e) Stitch length
Here you can set the speed at which
the material is carried forward when
sewing. This therefore determines the
gap (length) between the stitch points.
ᕥ Select a stitch length on the stitch
length selector wheel (0 = short /
4 = long).
