Regulating Stitch Length
32
The EZ Set™ Stitch Length Plate (31) sets both forward and
reverse stitch length. To set the stitch length, loosen the two
thumbscrews (A), slide the posts up or down, and tighten the
screws. The thumbscrew stops (B) restrict the movement
of the Feed Regulator Lever (C), which is spring loaded to
always rest against the upper stop.
Sewing in Reverse
Position the needle fully up or fully down and push the Feed
Regulator Lever (C) all the way down. Hold the lever down
until reverse sewing is completed. The lever is spring loaded
and will return to its forward position when you release
it. When the machine is operating at 1/4 speed or faster,
reverse can be engaged on the fly.
DO NOT rotate the balance wheel in the wrong direction.
Always rotate the balance wheel by grabbing the top of the
wheel and rotating down toward you (32).
Turning Corners
Turn the balance wheel toward you until the needle is at its
lowest point and then rises about 1/8 inch (3mm). Then, lift
the presser foot (p. 20, 29), rotate the material to the new
direction (the needle acts as an axis) (33), drop the foot and
start sewing in the new direction.
33
DO NOT attempt to change sewing directions when the
machine is at rest with the needle positioned mid-stroke.
This will cause a skipped stitch or needle deflection.
Rotating the material while the machine is at rest with the
presser foot down may bend the needle.
