Before
moving
pattem
selector,
make
sure
nee-
die
is
above
fabric.
When
you
turn
the
pattern
selector,
one
of
seven
stitch

selector.
ADJUSTING
STITCH
LENGTH
When
you
are
preparing
to
do
pattern
stitching,
make a test
sample
with
the
fabric
and thread
you plan
to
use so
that
you
can
adjust
the
stitch
length
correctly.
Any
stitch
length
setting
from 1 to
4
will
give
you
an
open
stitch
pattern
of
whichever
decorative
stitch
pattern
you
select.
The higher
the
number, the
more
open,
or
farther
apart,
your
stitch
will
be.
The
area
between 0 and 1 of
the
selector
is
used
for
the
fine adjustment
of
satin
stitching
(see
page
22).
For
stretch
stitch
patterns,
stitch
length
is
controlled
with a setting
between 3 and 4 on
the

Simply
rotate

To
produce
a

selector
must
be

GUIDING
AND

FABRIC
Most
fabric

knit
construction
need
only
to
be
guided
in

of
the
presser
foot
when
you
use
one
of
the
stretch
stitches.
Some
fabric
-nylon

and
elasticized
fabric,
for
example
-do
require
support
while
being
stitched.
.For
nylon
tricot
and
similar
synthetic
knits,
apply
gentle
tension
by
holding
the
seam
in
______________
~~front
and
back
of
the

,CAUTION:
Do
not

Your

comes
complete
with a built-in
four-step
buttonhole
system,
Before
sewing

of
fabric
and
interfacing,
if
appropriate.

the
finished
edge B ot
the

is
at
least equal
to
three-quarters
the
diameter
of

With
this
spacing,
the
button will
not
extend
beyond
