its
highest
posi
tion
before

If you
want
to sew
a few
wide zigzag
stitches
while the
machine is
set for
straight
stitching
(A
on 0),
merely
press
down the
finger-tip
control.
When
the
lever
is
released,
the machine
resumes
straight
stitching
automatically.
To sew
longer
zigzag
seams, turn
dial
A to
desired
stitch
width
(indicated
by
numbers
I
to 4).
When dial
A is
set
between
1/2
and 2,
you can
double
the
stitch
width
by
depress
ing the
finger-tip
control
(important for
buttonholing
and
fancy stitching).
When
you
push
the
control
up, the
machine
will sew
straight,
regardless
of
the
stitch
width
set
(ideal for tying
off
zigzag
seams).
Lever
B
changes
the
position of
the
needle
in the
needle
plate
slot. Thus
the stitch
ing
can be moved from
the
center
to
the left
or
right
of
the
slot, as
desired.
Dial
G
lengthens
zigzag
stitches
or packs
them
more
closely
to
gether
(satin stitch).
The
position of
lever B (left,
center,
right) mdi
cafes the
position of
the needle
in the
needle
plate
slot.
