4. Replace the needle regularly and not later than the first thread breakage or skipped stitches.

How to choose your stitch

For straight stitch, turn the stitch selector dial (6) until it required letter "A" coincides with the mark. You can adjust the needle position from left to central by turning the stitch width dial.

For zigzag stitch, turn the stitch selector dial (6) until the required letter "B" coincides with the mark. Adjust the stitch length and stitch width according to the fabric being used.

To obtain any of the other stitches shown in the upper row, turn the stitch selector dial until the required letter / stitch coincides with the mark Adjust the stitch length and the stitch width as required. In order to achieve an optimal result for the decorative stitches G-K of the first row, the stitch length should be set between "0.3" and a maximum of "0.5".

To obtain any of the stitches on the second row, turn the stitch length dial (5) to "S1". To obtain any of the stitches on the third row, turn the stitch length dial (5) to "S2", select the stitch desired with the stitch selector dial (6) and turn the stitch selector dial (6) until the required letter coincides with the mark. Set the stitch length as required.

Straight stitching and needle position

Turn the stitch selector dial (6) to "A" (straight stitch).

Generally speaking, the thicker the fabric, thread and needle, the longer the stitch should be.

Select the needle position from left to right by changing the stitch width dial (4) from "0" to "5".

Zigzag stitching

Stitch width dial

Stitch length dial

Turn the stitch selector dial (6) to "B".

The function of stitch width dial (4)

The maximum stitch width for zigzag stitching is "5"; however, the stitch width can be reduced on any type of stitch. The width increases as you turn the stitch width dial (4) from "0" to "5".

The function of stitch length dial (5) while zigzagging

The density of zigzag stitches increases as the setting of the stitch length dial approaches "0". For a good zigzag stitch, a stitch width of 2.5 or less is used.

Satin stitch

When the stitch length is set between "0" - "1", the stitches are very close together producing the "satin stitch" which is used for making buttonholes and decorative stitches.

Fine fabric

When sewing very fine fabric, place a piece of fleece under the fabric.

Zip foot
