The HD0500S offers 2, 3, and 4-thread configurations with 6 different stitch types. Refer to your machine's stitch guide for specific settings for each stitch type (e.g., overlock, rolled hem, flatlock).

4.2 Adjusting Stitch Settings

• Amplada de punt: Adjust the stitch width dial to achieve the desired seam finish.
• Longitud de la puntada: Adjust the stitch length dial (range 1.0 to 4.0 mm) to suit your fabric and project needs.
• Pressió del peu de premsa: Adjust the presser foot pressure to ensure even feeding of various fabric types, from delicate sheers to heavy denim.

4.3 Differential Feed Adjustment

The differential feed system prevents fabric stretching or puckering on knits and sheers, and can also be used to create decorative ruffles.

• Turn the differential feed dial to adjust the ratio between the front and rear feed dogs.
• For normal sewing, set the dial to 'N' (normal).
• For stretching fabric, increase the ratio. For gathering or ruffling, decrease the ratio.
