Stitch plate markings
•
the stitch plate is marked with vertical, horizontal and diagonal
lines in mm and inches
•
the lines help to guide the fabric for sewing seams and precise
topstitching, etc.
•
the horizontal markings are helpful for sewing corners and but-
tonholes, etc.
•
the diagonal markings are useful for quilting
•
the vertical measurements correspond to the distance between
the needle and the line
•
needle insertion point is position «0» (center needle position)
•
the measurements are marked to the right and left, measuring
from the center needle position
Note: To change the stitch plate see page 33
Feed-dog and stitch length
With each stitch the feed-dog moves forward by one step.
The length of this step is determined by the stitch length selected.
With an extremely short stitch length, the steps are also short.
The fabric moves under the foot quite slow ly, even at full sewing
speed. Buttonholes are sewn with a very short stitch length.
