The stitch length / rolled hem adjusting dial is conveniently
located just to the left of the front cover, near the base plate (fig.
A). The dial shows two stitch-length ranges, each minimum from
0.75, for the shortest stitch, to 4 for the longest (fig.C). As the
dial indicates, one range is for standard sewing and one is for
rolled edging or narrow seaming. Simply turn the dial aligning
the desired setting with the indicator the machine. A stitch
length of 3mm, or about 10 stitches per inch is ideal for seaming
and overedging most fabrics. For overedging or seaming very
lightweight fabrics, (page 33) or for the rolled edge, you may
prefer a shorter stitch length. When sewing heavier fabrics and
using applications such as gathering,
you may choose to lengthen the
stitch (fig.B).
Note:0.75mm is located between the
0 and 1 on both standard and rolled
setting.
