Proper setting
The forward and backward stitches are the same length.
As a test, sew a seam forward, stop, and sew a seam backward.
The punctures of the forward and backward stitches have to lie within one
another.
Fig. 20: Adjusting the eccentric for the forward and backward stitches
To adjust the eccentric for forward and backward stitches:
1. Tilt the machine head ( p. 14).
2. Loosen the threaded pin (3).
3. Turn the eccentric screw (1) from the right through the slot in the base
plate:
Initial position:
The slot in the eccentric screw (1) is parallel to the axle of
the machine, and the recess (2) faces down.
If the forward and backward stitches are not the same length:
• Turn clockwise: the forward stitch becomes larger, the backward
stitch smaller.
• Turn counterclockwise: the forward stitch becomes smaller,
the backward stitch larger.
