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.

  • Settings for some stitches cannot be changed.
    (refer to “STITCH SETTING CHART” on the Operation Manual (Sewing)).
  • If you turn off the machine or select another stitch without saving stitch setting changes , the stitch settings will return to their default settings.
