The stitch length can be increased up to 6 mm if required. It is easier to do some sewing jobs by changing the needle position, e.g. top-stitching a collar or sewing in a zipper. You can select up to 15 different needle positions (see page 16). Please ensure that the needle is at its highest position when adjusting the needle position. C A Zigzag stitch In addition to overlock stitching, zigzag stitch G, stitch width 5 , is also suitable for overcasting various materials. In this case, the material should only be positioned halfway under the sewing foot. When overcasting the edge, make sure the needle goes into the material and over the edge alternately. The width for overcasting can be reduced up to 2 mm. For overcasting difficult materials, blind stitch foot No. 3 is very useful. When sewing, the thread lies over pin C, thus preventing curling of the fabric edge. In this way you can sew beautiful smooth seams. The raw edge must be guided along edge guide B. You can adjust this edge guide with adjusting screw A. Important: When the blind stitch foot is used for overcasting with the zigzag stitch, select the right needle position. Choose a stitch width in the range of 3-5 mm (do not use any other needle position). B 24
