5.1 Nawlekanie maszyny
Proper threading is crucial for consistent stitch quality. Follow the threading path carefully, ensuring the thread passes through all guides, tension discs, and the take-up lever before entering the needle eye.
Figure 1: Roller foot and threading path. The yellow thread is guided through the machine's components towards the needle.
Figure 2: Post-bed design with needle and presser foot area. The elevated post bed facilitates sewing on three-dimensional items.
5.2 Adjusting Stitch Length
The stitch length can be adjusted using the dial located on the side of the machine head. Rotate the dial to select a stitch length between 1 mm and 5 mm. For longer stitches, the machine supports up to 8 mm (approximately 6-16 stitches per inch).
