DIFFERENTIAL FEED APPLICATIONS

Please refer to pages 46 - 49 DIFFERENTIAL FEED.

Differential feed is designed to minimize puckering and wavering. It is also very effective for

gathering.

1. Puckering

Puckering tends to occur on woven or sheer fabrics. To obtain pucker-free seams, set the

differential feed control dial at less than 1.

2. Wavering

Wavering tends to occur on knitted or stretchable fabrics. To obtain waver-free seams, set the

differential feed control dial at more than 1.

3. Gathering

Differential feed makes gathering easier on lightweight fabric. Use it on waistlines, sleeve

heads, sleeve bottoms and rufes, etc.

Set the differential feed control dial between 1.5 and 2, tighten the left and right needle thread

tensions and/or lengthen or shorten the stitch to obtain the best gathering effect for your fabric.

IMPORTANT

The exact adjustment depends on the thickness and elasticity of fabric. Even the stitch length can

inuence the setting. The longer the stitches, the more the fabric is contracted.

Always do a test with a scrap of the actual fabric you use and nd the best settings.
