29. NORMAL-/REVERSE-FEED STITCH NEEDLE ENTRY POINTS
ALIGNMENT AT THE TIME OF AUTOMATIC REVERSE FEED
STITCHING (LU-2810-7, LU-2860-7)
When the sewing speed or stitch pitch is changed, the normal- and reverse-feed stitch needle entry points
may not be aligned at the time of automatic reverse feed stitching.
In such a case, correct the alignment of needle entry points by changing the ON/OFF timing of the automatic
reverse feed cylinder. If it is difficult to correct the timing of the automatic reverse feed cylinder because of
the large stitch pitch, it is recommended to decrease the reverse feed stitching speed.
Refer to "III-8. Detailed explanation of selection of functions ⑯ Compensation of timing of the solenoid for
reverse feed stitching" in the Instruction Manual for the SC-922 for detail.
Normal- and reverse-feed stitches may need to be adjusted according to the stitch pitch to be used. Refer to
the Engineer's Manual for how to adjust the stitches.
1) How to align needle entry points of the reverse feed stitching with those of the normal feed stitching
Carry out "correction of the timing of the reverse feed stitching" according to the difference between the
needle entry points of the reverse feed stitching and those of the normal feed stitching.
Refer to "III-6. Setting the SC-922 functions" in the Instruction Manual for the SC-922 for how to carry
out the "correction of the timing of the reverse feed stitching".
