An industrial single-needle lockstitch machine like the Brother S-6280A does not have a stitch width.
It only sews in a straight line, meaning its stitch width is strictly 0 mm.
If you meant stitch length, the maximum length is 5 mm, which can be adjusted using the dial on the front of the machine.
If you are looking for a machine that can adjust stitch width, you will need a zigzag machine or an overlock machine
The maximum stitch length on the Brother S-6280A is 5 mm.
How to Adjust the Stitch Length
- The Dial: Locate the physical circular dial on the front panel of the machine head.
- The Numbers: The markings on the dial (0 to 5) directly represent the stitch length in millimeters.
- Adjustment: Turn the dial until your desired length aligns with the indicator mark.
- The Reverse Lever: Press the large spring-loaded reverse lever down while turning the dial to make it spin easier and reduce wear on the internal feed mechanism.
Key Length Recommendations
- Basting / Temporary Seams: 4.0 mm to 5.0 mm (easy to remove later)
- Standard Garment Construction: 2.0 mm to 2.5 mm (secure hold for most woven fabrics)
- Fine or Lightweight Fabrics: 1.5 mm to 2.0 mm (prevents fabric puckering)
- Topstitching: 3.0 mm to 4.0 mm (highly visible, decorative straight lines
