8 Setting the feed-dog
The position and the movement of the feed-dog and needle bar have to be
coordinated such that the needle pierces exactly in the center of the nee-
dle hole of the feed-dog.
Order
First check the following setting:
• Needle bar linkage ( 9 Aligning the needle bar linkage, page 41)
8.1 Setting the feed-dog position
Proper setting
The feed-dog is exactly in the center of the throat plate cut-out, both
sideways and in the sewing direction.
If the stitch length is 0, the needle pierces exactly in the center of the
needle hole.
Various settings can be made depending on how far the position
of the feed-dog differs from the correct setting:
• For minimal deviations, it suffices to move the feed-dog on the carrier
( 8.1.1 Moving the feed-dog, page 35).
• If this is not sufficient, move the entire feed-dog carrier on the sliding
shaft ( 8.1.2 Moving the feed-dog carrier, page 36).
WARNING
Risk of injury
Crushing injuries from moving parts.
Switch off the sewing machine before setting the
feed-dog position.
