Stitch length / super (stretch) stitch dial should be at S mark for most
materials. Depending upon the type of fabric used, you may need
to adjust this dial to match forward stitches of stretch sewing with
reverse motion stitches. If the stitches are too open, turn the dial
to + position; if the stitches overlap, turn the dial to - position.
