The primary difference between the various models is the type and number of stitch patterns. In addition to stitch patterns there is also a difference in the number of dials used to modify the patterns. On all models stitch patterns are chosen by turning the stitch pattern selector dial. The pattern on an alphabet letter depicting the pattern will show in the stitch display window. As you study the chart on the right while examining your sewing machine you will be able to easily determine which model is your sewing machine. If you determine your sewing machine is either A or B model pay attention to the instructions on the next page for stitch width dial and stitch length dial. If you have model C then ignore the instructions for stitch width dial and only pay attention to stitch length dial. If you have model D then all your pattern lengths and widths are pre-set and you do not have length or width dials.
