Feed-dog and fabric feed Feed-dog and stitch length W ith each stitch the feed-dog moves forw ard by one step The length of this step is determ ined by the stitch length selected. W ith an extrem ely short stitch length, the steps
are short. The fabric moves under the foo t quite slowly, even at full sewing speed. Buttonholes, satin stitch and some decorative stitches are sewn w ith a very short stitch length.
Important
Let the fab ric feed evenly!
Pulling or pushing w ill result in gaps.
Holding back w ill result in thread build-up.
If the foo t is at an angle, e.g . w hen sew ing over th ick to thin or vice-versa, the feed-dog cann o t grip and feed the fa b ric.
To solve this problem , place one, tw o or three co m p ensating plates as required behind the needle under the presser fo o t.
W hen sew ing co rn ers only a sm all section of the fab ric is actu ally on the feed-dog so th at it cannot grip the fab ric w e ll.
C o rrect this by placing one or more com p ensating plates as close as possible to the edge of the fa b ric.
Height Compensation Tool
The feed-dog can w o rk no rm ally w hen the fo o t is level.
Feed-dog and sew ing corners
The gap betw een the tw o row s of teeth is relatively large due to the w id th of the stitch plate hole.
To co rrect the height in fro nt of the fo o t, place one or more plates to the right of the fo o t next to the needle. Sew until the fo o t is level again and rem ove the plates.
