How do I adjust a stitch width or length?
This machine is preset with the default settings for thestitch width, stitch length, “L/R Shift”, and upper thread tension for each stitch. However, you can change any of the settings by pressing in the utility stitch screen, then following the procedure described in this section.
After changing the settings, press “OK” to return to the utility stitch screen.
Stitch settings return to their defaults if they are changed, when the machine is turned off or a different stitch is selected before the stitch setting is saved, refer to Saving stitch settings.
The stitch width (zigzag width) can be adjusted to make the stitch wider or narrower.
Each press of “-” makes the zigzag stitch narrower.
Each press of “+” makes the zigzag stitch wider.
After adjusting the stitch width, slowly turn 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.
The stitch length can be adjusted to make the stitch coarser (longer) or finer (shorter).
Each press of “-” the stitch length finer (shorter).
Each press of “+” makes the stitch length coarser (longer).
If you wish to save specific settings for a stitch so that they can be used later, press after changing the settings to save the new settings with the selected stitch.
This feature can be used only with utility stitches.
