What is the stitch length when using the straight stitch?

Hi, there are 3 stitch lengths , a small, medium and long. there is no indication what the sizes are per inch...but the medium is what I use for most of my projects, the large is more of a basting stitch and the small for fine and small areas. I hope this helps/ It is a great machine... Christine

The middle button us the stitch length. Nit starts at 0, which U.S. for the buttonholes. Then goes from 1 to 4, it will do a very small stitch to a large basting or gathering stitch. This machine us also the same as a regular Janome model...it's just the hello kitty decoration

Sorry, I don't use the "stitch and scan" feature, so I can't answer your question. Maybe another reviewer can.

There is no mention of using a double pointed needle in the instruction book of this machine. There is both a ZigZag Width control from zero to 6.5mm with zigzag and a Stitch Length control of Zero to 4mm.

On a basic zig-zag stitch (#8 on stitches) the largest number is 7.0 which measures about 1/4" across...it may vary on different types of zig-zag stitch...hope this is of assistance.

I don't have the machine with me right now but if you click on the picture and enlarge it, you may find something like the satin stich and you can vary the stitch length to get satin. Hope this will help you. I believe anyone who appreciates a sewing machine for its easiness of handling will love this machine.

The number represents the number of stitches per inch of canvas. This determines the type of fibers one uses to stitch the piece. I have completed this kit and it their recommendations produces a nice stocking. If it uses thread which I believe it did. Separate the six strands and then put back together and don't use any thread longer than 12 inches per piece or they will fray as you pull them thru the canvas. I hope this helps. M

I used a digital vernier on 4 random pieces and got 0.22-0.23 in i.d. or 5.7-5.8 mm i.d., Atlantco "7-strand" 550 paracord is roughly 0.15 in o.d. or 3.8 mm o.d. for example (compresses too easily to get a vernier on) so regulation paracord easily passses thru the holes.

Yes it does. You can skip (or go back) just a single stitch or an entire step within the design!

Hi, push the stitch length all the way to the left until you hear a beeping, then immediately move it all the way to the right. I usually adjust the tension on top a little looser also so the basting thread is looser which makes it easier to gather fabric. Remember, every time you turn your machine off, it defaults to the tiny stitch, so you must repeat this step whenever you want to baste.

It is a bit of guess work. start wt the longest and work down to the shortest to get the length you want. I do wish they had a couple of more sizes.

The stitching is not large in my opinion. Did not measure, but the stitching looks good with quilt. Nothing stands out as odd or too large. This is a very nice quilt.

it is straight and at least 10 inches. I cut it to about 4 inches since that is all I needed.

Are you following the directions exactly? Before starting to stitch, cut the seam allowance of your fabric at least 1/2 inch to give the side cutter a place to start. Also, you need to watch the weight of your fabric - this is not a serger-type of system that will cut any weight of fabric.

Please have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tByXPGwvZ_I to see how a seam guide is used; think of this magnetic seam guide as corresponding to the piece of tape shown in the video. 1/5" is a very peculiar measurement. I don't know of a ruler that would show 1/5". But I figured that 1/5" is about 5 mm, so you can use a millimeter ruler to measure such a distance. On my sewing machine with the needle positioned in the center of the presser foot, 5 mm from the needle would fall under the pressure foot. So the only way I could sew a 5 mm seam would be to move the needle away from the center position, setting it so that it is 5 mm from one edge of the pressure foot. Then I could use the edge of the presser foot as the seam seam guide. So for such an odd seam allowance, this magnetic seam guide would not work unless you have a very narrow presser foot. That said, this is a wonderful seam guide for measuring seam allowances of more conventional widths.

There are three different adjustment slots on top of the Ruffler that, I believe, adjusts the distance of the stitches to the edge of the material. There is an infinite adjustment wheel for how dialing how often the ruffle is produced per number of stitches sewn. I make ruffles for decorative pillows and usually leave my Ruffler in the same position.

not sure since i do not have mine, but the size was comparable to other sewing machine's stitches.
