Feed dog and fabric feed
Let the fabric feed evenly.
Feed dog and stitch length
With each stitch the feed dog moves
forward by one step. The length of this
step is determined by the stitch length
selected.
With an extremely short stitch length, the
steps are also very short. The fabric moves
under the foot quite slow ly, even at full
sewing speed.
Pulling, pushing or holding back the fabric will result in uneven stitches.
9mm (inch- or mm-measurements) just
aurora 450
5,5mm (inch- or mm-measurements)
Buttonholes, satin stitch and de co rative
stitches are all sewn with a very short stitch
length.
