Stitch plates
Stitch Plate Markings
► the stitch plates are marked horizontally, vertically and
diagonaly in mm and inches
► markings help with sewing e.g. precise seaming and top
stitching
► horizontal markings are helpful for sewing corners and
buttonholes etc.
► diagonal markings are helpful for Quilt piecing
► the vertical markings refer to the distance from the
needle to the marking
► needle insertion point is position «0» (= center needle
position)
► measurements are marked to the right and to the left of
center needle position

With each stitch the feed-dog moves forward one step. The
length of this step is determined by the stitch length
selected.
With a very short stitch length the steps are very short. The
fabric moves relatively slowly under the presser foot, even
at full sewing speed, e.g. buttonholes and satin stitch and
decorative stitches are sewn with a very short stitch length.
Let the fabric feed fabric evenly.
Pulling, pushing or holding back the fabric will result in uneven stitches.
