11 SETTING THE STITCH LENGTH The length of the stitch is regulated by the dial 14, shown in Fig. 1. Near O is shortest stitch and 4 is longest, but the dial may be set at any spot between markings for a variety of lengths. Turn the dial to the left to lengthen and to the right to shorten the stitch. The number of the stitch length you choose should appear under the dot. STITCH LENGTH CHART (Approximate) Figures on indicator Number of stitches per inch O No Feeding 0.
12 When the upper and under tensions are properly balanced, a perfect stitch will be formed with both threads interlocking in fabric (Fig. 16). When the upper tension is too tight, the lower thread is pulled up over the upper thread which is lying flat on the fabric (Fig. 17). When the upper tension is too loose, the upper thread forms loops over the lower thread lying flat on the fabric (Fig. 18), Fig. 16 __ Fig. 17 Fig. 15 .. Fig.
