6-2-6. Setting start backtacking (8560A, 8550A-A31 only)
After thread trimming (or after the treadle has been depressed backward for the 8550A-A31), you can sew a set number of
stitches to create start backtack stitches.
<Setting start backtacking>
1
NOTE:
This operation is possible after thread trimming has been carried out (after the treadle has been depressed
backward for the 8550A-A31).
2
Depress the treadle to start sewing the start backtack stitches.
After this, stitches will be sewn at the pitch set by the stitch length dial (1).
NOTE:
The sewing machine will continue operating until the set number of start backtack
stitches has been sewn, even if the treadle is returned to the neutral position. (The
sewing machine operates at a speed of 1,200 rpm when sewing start backtack
stitches.)
Stop in the needle up stop position at that point. (For the 8560A, the thread will be
trimmed and then the needle will stop in the needle up stop position.) (If the zigzag
stop position has been set, the needle will stop in the set position.)
<Turning the start backtack function on and off>
The condition changes as shown below each time the start backtack key is pressed.
The stitch length for section A is adjusted by means
of the stitch length dial (1), and the stitch length for
section B is adjusted by means of the condense dial
(2).
