Skip stitch device
Class 221, 241, 251, 261, 271 machines are equipped with a skip stitch device. When
sewing thin cloths, this enables the top layer of cloth to be pierced with only every
second (1:2) or every third (1:3) stitch. The plunger (rib shaft) either moves beyond the
needle, or stops short of it, in this 1:2 or 1:3 cycle. Turn switch handle A to "ON" to
switch on the skip stitch mode.
Switching on the skip stitch drive does not interfere with other machine settings. It can
be switched whilst the machine is in motion.
Attention!
The plunger (rib shaft) must be specially adjusted when sewing with a 1:2 or 1:3 skip
stitch. See page 29 (plunger/rib shaft adjustment) of the operating instructions.
