The stitch width dial is numbered 0 - 5, representing
the various stitch widths in millimeters. The higher the
number, the wider the stitch. The yellow color-coding

buttonholes.
To select a stitch width turn the dial until the desired
width setting is aligned with the indicator dot.

1/2" from the needle; the second, 5/8” and so on. Align
the fabric edge at a seam guide marking for a consistent
seam width. The standard seam allowance width is 5/8”.
