Normal differential feed (to gather the fabric)
To make this adjustment, loosen nut A, move lever B up or
down and tighten nut A at the required position.
To obtain a feed ratio of 1:1, align lever B with reading C.
To obtain the normal differential feed, raise lever B above
reading C. To obtain a feed ratio of 1:2, set lever B at 2.
■
Reverse differential feed (to stretch seam the fabric)
To obtain the reverse differential feed, lower lever B below
reading C. To obtain a feed ratio of 1:0.7, set lever B at
0.7. To adjust the differential feed ratio during sewing
Connect a chain, etc. to the lever. Set the upper and
lower limits with two stoppers (D). To adjust the
differential feed ratio during sewing, move lever B up or
down within this range and then set lever B at the
required position. The differential feed ratio varies
according to the stitch length. See the table below.
