How do I adjust a stitch width or length?
When you select a stitch, your machine automatically selects the appropriate stitch width, stitch length, and upper thread tension. However, if needed, you can change any of the individual settings.
Follow the steps below when you want to change the zigzag stitch pattern width.
Example:
■ Press to narrow the zigzag stitch pattern width.
>> The value in the display gets smaller. |
■ Press to widen the zigzag stitch pattern width.
>> The value in the display gets bigger. |
After adjusting the stitch width, slowly rotate the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the needle does not touch the presser foot. If the needle hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or break.
Follow the steps below when you want to change the stitch pattern length.
Example:
■ Press to shorten the stitch length.
>> The value in the display gets smaller. |
■ Press to lengthen the stitch length.
>> The value in the display gets bigger. |
If the stitches get bunched together, lengthen the stitch length and continue sewing. Do not continue sewing without lengthening the stitch length. Otherwise, the needle may break and cause injury.
Follow the steps below when you want to change the placement of the zigzag stitch pattern by moving it left and right.
Example:
■ Press to shift the pattern to the left.
>> The value in the display appears with a minus sign. |
■ Press to shift the pattern to the right side of the left needle position.
>> The value in the display appears with a plus sign. |
After adjusting the L/R Shift , slowly rotate the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the needle does not touch the presser foot. If the needle hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or break.
