Changing the needle position

The needle position used as the baseline is 
different for the straight stitch (left needle position) 
and the straight stitch (center needle position).

Straight stitch (center needle position)

When the stitch width of the straight stitch (left 
needle position) is set to its standard setting 
(0.0 mm), the distance from the needle position to 
the right side of the presser foot is 12 mm 
(1/2 inch). If the stitch width is changed (between 
0 and 7 mm (1/4 inch)), the needle position will 
also change. By changing the stitch width and 
sewing with the right side of the presser foot 
aligned with the edge of the fabric, a seam 
allowance can be sewn with a fixed width.
