Stitch Length
SL
The stitch length (SL) may be adjusted depending on
the fabric weight and fiber content. Stitch length may
be set between 0.5 and 5. Set a shorter stitch length
for lightweight or sheer fabrics. Set a longer stitch
length for heavyweight or bulky fabrics.
NOTE:
Always set the SL dial at 2.5 or higher when sewing a
chainstitch or cover hem.
NOTE:
The stitch length readout for the Cover Hem stitches is
3.0. This is the correct setting for two-three layers of
light to medium weight fabric. Stitch length should be
increased to 3.5 or 4 on heavy fabrics or when sewing
over bulky seams while hemming.
