Ornamental stitches The decorative-stitch mechanism To sew various fancy stitches, you need the decorative-stitch mechanism of your machine, You will see a row of fancy-stitch buttons right next to the row of functional-stitch buttons. The buttons in the right row are marked with the symbols of patterns which can be used for ornamental purposes only. The patterns on the left row of buttons can be used for both functional and decorative purposes. Push the button showing the desired motif. Then turn the stitch selector to the stitch length and needle position indicated on the button next to the fancy-stitch symbol. If you want to sew the first design, for in- stance, push the first button. Then turn knob D in the stitch selector to the needle position symbol indicated and turn the outer ring between 0 and 1, as indicated on the button. The desired pattern length is regulated by turning wheel E. The minimum pattern length is obtained by turning wheel E to 10, the maximum length by turning it to 18 (see ill.). This is all you have to do to sew the pattern selected. In case sewing is interrupted because the bobbin is empty or the needle thread is broken, you can easily locate the exact be ginning of the pattern with the aid of indi cator wheel S.
