Correcting Distorted Stitch Patterns
The sewing results of the stretch stitch patterns may vary
depending upon the sewing conditions, such as sewing
speed, type of the fabric, number of layers etc.
Always test sew on a scrap piece of the fabric that you
wish to use.
If decorative stitch patterns, letters, numbers or the
manual buttonhole stitch are deformed, correct them with
the feed balancing dial.
Remove the cap by using the screwdriver etc. Make sure
not to scratch the machine body with the screwdriver.
