S titc h Tuner
In principle all the stitches are perfectly shaped.
However, for certai n very intricate sti tches (tr ue
hemstitching, etc.) sewn with the double EL NA-
discs, it may be desirable to lengthen or shorten
the pattern to adapt it better to the material and
thread used .
• To lengthen or shorten the stitch, t urn the
knob to "+ " (to th e left) or to " - " (to th e
rig ht), respectively.
" Combi " Stitch Patterns
T hese are obtained when using the built-in an d
the double interchan geable ELN Adisc s at the
