4 SPECIALSTITCHES

The special color coded stitches on your machine have a variety of practical and decorative uses. In this section are recommended applications for each stitch. However, these stitches can be used for marly other sewing projects. Before beginning a sewing project, check the Fabric, Thread and Needle Table on page43 for the best needle and thread corn bination for your fabric.

There should be a noticeable difference between the thread tension when the presser foot is down and when it is up.

BUILT-IN STITCH

PATTERNS

"_-qe built-in stitch patterns on your machine have a variety of practical and decorative u;es. In this section are recommended applications for each stitch. However, these can be used for many other sewing projects.
To widen or narrow a Special Stitch pattern, move the stitch width lever off Straight Stitch, ( i ), toward any other width setting at the right. The stitch with graphics on the machine show width of approximately 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0mm.

STITCH LENGTH

The stitch length indicator is numbered 0 to 4. The area between 0 and 1 will produce very dense stitching. For more open stitching, slide the stitch length lever anywhere from 2 to 4. When sewing special color coded stitches. The length MUST be set in the 3-1/2 to 4 area.
Some Special Stitch patterns may require looser thread tension than others. To find the proper tension for your application, make a test sample with the thread and fabric you _,. II be using. ADJUSTING STITCH BALANCE
You can adjust the appearance of special color coded stitch patterns on the display panel, by turning the Stitch balance ring (1) behind the pattern selector dial (2).
A correctly balanced Fagoting should appear as illustrated (3).

Stitch

When stitches are too close together (4), separate them by turning the stitch balance ring to the right.
When stitches are too far apart (5), bring them closer together by turning the stitch balance ring to the left.
