Most

ornamental

stitches

are

sewn

with

a

stitch

length

of

"

almost

zero

",

i.e.

with

a

very

small

material

feed.

I

f,

between

the

making

of

such

Fig.

62

stitches,

the

machine

is

used

with

a

larger

material

feed,

e.g.

for

normal

sewing

jobs,

the

resetting

of

the

stitch

length

to

"

almost

zero

"

causes

a

little

trouble

and

some

waste

of

time.

This

de-

fect

is

remedied

by

the

built-

in

patented

straight

-sided

satin

stitch

stop

68.59

(Fig.

2).

lf,

for

instance,

you

are

doing

normal

sewing

work

with

the

stitch

length

2

and

want

to

change

back

to

the

straight

-sided

satin

stitch,

then

swivel

the

stop

to

the

left

by

lifting

handle

69,

which

projects

from

the

vertical

part

of

the

frame,

upwards

until

it

meets

with

resistance,

and

move

the

stitch

regulator

knob

14

(Fig.

2)

upwards

as

far

as

it

will

go.

The

straight

-sided

satin

stitch

can

now

be

sewn

without

your

needing

to

apply

any

hit-or-miss

method.

By

pressing

the

handle

59

down,

the

normal

position

for

the

selection

of

the

stitch

length,

forwards

and

back-

wards,

is

restored.

With

a

particular

stitch

length

seams

of

varying

thickness

result

according

to

the

thickness

of

the

yarn.

The

stop

is

thus

set

at

the

desired

yarn

thickness

as

follows

:

By

turning

knob

58

a

very

little

to

the

right,

the

stitch

length

is

shortened,

which

results

in

the

seam

being

thicker;

this

is

necessary

when

thin

yarn

is

used.

A

very

little

turn

to

the

left

results

in

a

slight

increase

in

the

little

length

so

that

a

seam

of

uniform

thickness

can

be

achieved

with

thick

yarn

as

well.
