SETTING DIFFERENTIAL FEED
Set by simply moving the differential feed control dial in the direction desired, referring to the
chart below. The adjustment can be made between 0.7 (negative effect) and 2 (positive effect).
These settings give the best ratio of feeding.
For normal sewing without differential feed, set the dial on 1.
The lever can be reset even while sewing.
