Name Characteristics (movement of the feed dog) Stitch length and sewing speed
S
(Standard)
Standard smooth elliptical locus
0 to 4.00 mm : 5,000 sti/min
(H type : 4,500 sti/min)
4.05 to 5.00 mm : 4,000 sti/min
A
During ascending, the feed dog goes straight
up and moves in parallel in terms of longitudi-
nal direction.
0 to 5.00 mm : 4,000 sti/min
C
When the needle penetrates the material, the
feed dog sinks straight down. As a result, the
bent-needle problem rarely occurs.
0 to 5.00 mm : 4,000 sti/min
B
The feed dog goes straight up and sinks
straight down.
Since it sinks straight down during descending,
the bent-needle problem rarely occurs.
With this type of locus, the stitch length does
not change largely even when the feed dog
height is changed.
0 to 5.00 mm : 2,500 sti/min
The feed locus can be changed according to
the item to be sewn.
