Setting the Stitch Width/Stitch Length/“L/R Shift”
When you select a stitch, your machine automatically selects the appropriate stitch settings. However, if needed, you can change any of the individual settings.
- After adjusting the stitch width or the “L/R Shift”, slowly turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the needle does not touch the presser foot.
- Touch [Reset] to return the setting to its default.
- Settings for some stitches cannot be changed.
- If you turn off the machine or select another stitch without saving stitch setting changes (Saving the Utility Stitch Settings), the stitch settings will return to their default settings.
