CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Correcting Distorted Stitch Patterns
The sewing results of the stitch patterns may vary depending upon the sewing conditions, such as sewing speed, type of the fabric, number of layers etc. Always test sew on a scrap piece of the fabric that you wish to use.
If stretch stitch patterns, letters, numbers or the auto buttonhole stitch are distorted, correct it with the feed balancing dial.
1 Feed Balancing Dial 2 Neutral Position 3 Setting Mark
Stretch stitch pattern
Example: Pattern 31 in the Mode 2 If the pattern is compressed, turn the feed balancing dial in the direction of “+”. If the pattern is drawn out, turn the feed balancing dial in the direction of “—”.
Letters and numbers
Example: Pattern 08 in the Mode 4 If the pattern is compressed, turn the feed balancing dial in the direction of “+”. If the pattern is drawn out, turn the feed balancing dial in the direction of “—”.
Stitch balance of the auto buttonhole
The stitch balance of the right and left rows on the auto buttonhole may vary depending on conditions of sewing. If the right row is denser, turn the dial in the direction of “+”. If the left row is denser, turn the dial in the direction of “—”.
NOTE: Return the feed balancing dial to its neutral position when the sewing is finished.
