Refer to the stitch selector dial (as shown in the "Stitch Selector Dial" image in the Product Overview section). Rotate the dial to choose your desired stitch pattern. The machine offers 11 stitch options, including straight stitches, zigzag stitches, and a four-step buttonhole.

2. Adjusting Thread Tension:

The thread tension dial (as shown in the "Thread Tension Dial" image) controls the tightness of the upper thread. For most general sewing, a setting between 3 and 5 is appropriate. Adjust as needed to achieve balanced stitches where the upper and lower threads interlock evenly between the fabric layers.

2. Baixa a panca do prensatelas.

4. Reverse Stitching:

To secure the beginning and end of a seam, use the reverse stitch lever (typically located on the front of the machine). Press and hold the lever to sew backward a few stitches, then release to continue sewing forward.

• Retire a agulla e o pé prensatela.
