High Speed Basting Adjustment (continued):
9. Now set the stitch pattern to the Basting Stitch, and watch that the lever snaps over to the left a bit more. And also
watch that the lever now just sets on top of the lower bracket. See figure (4a)
10. With all the adjustments being correct, the basting stitch function will begin to work as smooth as silk, and will
continue to do so at high speed. Run the machine without any thread or needle, and watch the performance of the
function as the needle just takes a stitch every now and then. If it chatters, or jumps erratically, continue to adjust
the clearances until it is nice and smooth in performance.
I know this is a tough adjustment for the novice, but again, with some
patients, you’ll get it working just fine. With all the adjustments just right,
the unit will resemble this picture.
