Stitch length control

The stitch length control regulates the length of the stitch you select. The higher the number – the shorter the stitch. Turn only the outer rim of this control to set the Stitch length.
The number on the stitch length control indicates stitch number per inch. The stitch setting you use will be determined by the thickness of the fabric you are sewing.
A longer stitch setting should be used for thicker fabric or more layers of fabric.
The middle range of the control is the 10 – 12 stitches per inch range which is the most commonly used.
A basting stitch is made by using the longest possible stitch setting – 6 stitches per inch. The red marking on the control is the setting used for the shortest stitches such as in satin stitching.

 

Stitch width control

This control regulates the width of the stitch you select. The higher the number, the wider the stitch. You may vary or zigzag stitch with by using this control to the settings you desire.
This control must be on the red S in order to do straight stitching.
Turn only the outer rim of this control to set the stitch width.
The center of the control dials the special stitches the machine is capable of sewing.
