In stretch stitch sewing, Stretch Stitch
Control should be in the detent posi-

ing upon the type of fabric used, you
may need to adjust this control to
match forward stitches of stretch sew-
ing with reverse motion stitches. To
shorten stretch stitches, turn the con-
trol slightly toward "S". To lengthen,
turn toward "L"_
