Adjustments and settings a A hf Of O C • O • O E • a Adjustments and settings Stitch length 3 Every stitch equals one complete feed-dog movement. The extent of this movement is determined by the selected stitch length. The stitch length is infinitely variable from 1-4 mm and can be adjusted while sewing. Simply turn the stitch length dial in the direction desired. Most overlock work is done with a basic stitch length setting of 2.5 mm (marking on the dial). 3 I 2 t 9 G 3 t 9 t 3 E 3 E Cutting width t The cutting width is deter- Turn the cutting width t mined by the distance in the desired direction. between the knife and the Lower the upper knife.

The most common use for the differential feed is to prevent waving or fluting in knits or puckers in fine woven fabrics. ) 2 1,5 N (1) 0,7 The distance travelled by the front feed dog is greater than that of the rear feed dog (examples 1.5 and 2). The front feed dog pushes the amount of fabric which the rear feed dog can take up unstretched (knit) or unpuckered (fine wovens) behind the needle.

Turn the cutting width dial to a higher number. k t 3 Stretching effect The opposite effect can be produced to prevent fine nylon jerseys or closely woven fabrics from puckering. The distance travelled by the rear feed dog is greater than that of the front feed dog (example 0.7). The front feed dog holds the fabric back causing a stretching effect so that the rear feed dog can take up the fabric behind the needle without gathering. t 3 ti,!, a k. 28 29
