Adjusting the Stitch Width and Length

The zigzag width (pattern width) and stitch length of utility stitches can be adjusted. Normally, when a stitch is 
selected, the appropriate width and length are automatically selected. For details on the range of values within 
which the width and length can be set, refer to “Stitch Settings” (page 128).

Adjusting the stitch width

The stitch width can be adjusted with the arrow keys.

1

Turn on the sewing machine.

X

The LCD comes on.

2

Select a stitch.

X

A screen containing settings for the selected 
stitch appears.

• For details on selecting a stitch, refer to 

“Selecting stitching” (page 68).

• Immediately after the stitch is selected, the 

standard settings (highlighted) appear.

3

To make the stitch width narrower, press 

 

(–). To make the stitch width wider, press 

 

(+).

X

The stitch width is changed.

• If the setting is changed, the highlighted 

value is erased.

Memo

To reset the stitch width to its standard 
setting, select the same stitch again or 
change the setting to the highlighted value.

If the straight stitch (left needle position or 
triple stretch stitch) was selected, changing 
the stitch width changes the needle 
position. Increasing the width moves the 
needle to the right; reducing the width 
moves the needle to the left.

The settings can be saved so that they will 
always be specified each time the utility 
stitch is selected. For details, refer to 
“Saving stitch settings” (page 60).

The sewing machine can be set so that the 
stitch width can easily be changed with the 
sewing speed controller. For details, refer to 
“Satin stitching” (page 98).

+

After adjusting the stitch width, slowly 
turn the balance wheel toward you and 
check that the needle does not touch the 
presser foot. If the needle hits the presser 
foot, the needle may bend or break.
