Stitch length Increase or decrease the stitch length using + and -. The number above the control shows stitch length in mm. If lengthening a zigzag stitch or a decorative stitch, the entire stitch will be longer. If lengthening a satin stitch where the density can be adjusted, the entire stitch will be longer but the density will remain the same. Stitch density The stitch density control adjusts the density (the closeness of the satin stitches that make up the entire stitch). The density does not affect the actual length of the entire stitch. Touch + to decrease the density. Touch - to increase the density. The number above the control shows the distance between satin stitches in mm. Note: This is often used with specialty threads and when a less dense satin stitch is desired. Balance When sewing on special fabrics or doing a special technique, the balance may need to be adjusted. If a stitch can be balanced, a long touch symbol will appear in the stitch controls. To ensure a good result, start with sewing a test sample on the fabric you will use. To activate forward/backward balance, long touch the stitch length/density control. To activate side to side balance, long touch the stitch width/positioning control. Use the + and - icons to adjust the balance of the stitch. Note: Buttonholes can also be balanced. - - Stitch length + Stitch density + Balance forward/backward Balance side to side Sewing mode 4:5

Stitch length
Increase or decrease the stitch length using + and -.
The number above the control shows stitch length
in mm. If lengthening a zigzag stitch or a decorative
stitch, the entire stitch will be longer. If lengthening
a satin stitch where the density can be adjusted,
the entire stitch will be longer but the density will
remain the same.
Stitch density
The stitch density control adjusts the density (the
closeness of the satin stitches that make up the
entire stitch). The density does not affect the actual
length of the entire stitch.
Touch + to decrease the density. Touch - to increase
the density. The number above the control shows
the distance between satin stitches in mm.
Note: This is often used with specialty threads and when
a less dense satin stitch is desired.
Balance
When sewing on special fabrics or doing a special
technique, the balance may need to be adjusted. If
a stitch can be balanced, a long touch symbol will
appear in the stitch controls.
To ensure a good result, start with sewing a test
sample on the fabric you will use. To activate
forward/backward balance, long touch the stitch
length/density control. To activate side to side
balance, long touch the stitch width/positioning
control. Use the + and - icons to adjust the balance
of the stitch.
Note: Buttonholes can also be balanced.
