5-7. Backtacking
•
Backtack stitches with short stitch lengths can be sewn
easily during sewing just by pressing the reverse lever (1).
This is useful for preventing fraying of the seam at the
sewing end.
•
Before sewing, turn the condense dial (2) to the left or
right to set the stitch length for these shorter backtack
stitches.
If using the 8560A, 8550A-A31
The actuator (3) can be used instead of the reverse lever
(1).
< Sewing condensed stitches >
•
When the condense dial (2) is set to a positive number,
backtack stitches with a stitch length that matches the
dial setting will be sewn in the normal sewing direction
while the reverse lever is pressed.
•
If the condense dial (2) is set to “0”, backtack stitches will
be sewn without the material being fed while the reverse
lever is pressed.
< Backtacking >
When the condense dial (2) is set to a negative number,
backtack stitches with a stitch length that matches the dial
setting will be sewn in the reverse sewing direction while the
reverse lever (1) is pressed.
* The numbers on the dial are for use as a guide. The
length of the finished stitches may vary depending on the
type and thickness of material being sewn. Adjust while
looking at the finished stitches.
When the condense dial (2) is set to a number from -2 to -5
In this case, replace gauge parts such as the feed dog with parts for using with a feed amount of
more than 2.0 mm.
In addition, change the maximum feed amount setting while referring to page 57, and then adjust the condense dial (2) to a
number from –2 to –5.
