Regulating

the

Length

of

Stitch

the

PFAFF

28

has

its

stitch

regulator

conveniently

arranged

under

the

arm.

This

device

allows

to

regulate

the

length

of stitch

and

to

reverse

the

direction

of

feeding

for

tying

off

seams.

The

stitch

regulator

lever

is

provided

with

a

large

thumb

screw

A

(see

photo

13)

which

serves

to

set

and

limit

the

length

of

stitch

as

desired.

A

scale

conspicuously

arranged

under

the

arm

indicates

the

stith

length

in

millimeters.

If

the

pointer

of

the

stitch

regulator

points

at

zero,

the

machine

does

not

feed

at

all.

When the

lever

is

pulled

toward

the

operator,

the

machine

will

feed

forward,

the

length

of

stitch

being

indicated

by

the

pointer

on

the

scale.

If,

after

setting

the stitch

regulator

lever

at

the

length

of

stitch

desired,

the

screw

A

is

turned

inwardly

as

far

as

it

will

go

and

the

lever

is

then

pushed

over

from

the

operator,

the

machine

will

feed

reverse

making

stitches

of

about

the

same

length

as

for

forward

sewing.

Note:

Use

reverse

feeding

only

for

tying

off

the

ends

of

seams.
