Stitch Length Dial
Depending on your selected stitch, you may need to adjust the stitch
length for best results.
The numbers marked on the Stitch Length Dial represent the length
of the stitch in millimeters (mm).
THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE LONGER THE STITCH.
The “0” 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 dense zigzag stitch)
which can be used in making buttonholes and decorative stitches.
The position needed for making the Satin Stitch varies according to
the material and thread being used. To determine the exact dial
position, you should first test the stitch and length settings on a
scrap of fabric to observe the feeding of the material.
