If you have a cut that keeps bleeding, or that "gapes" open and won't stay closed, you need stitches to close it up so that it will heal.

If you just have a little chunk gone and it stops bleeding, you probably don't need stitches.

What is stitch length regulator?

The stitch regulator allows you to control both the length and the width of the stitch. The length of the stitch depends on the fabric you are sewing and how small or large you want the stitches to be (for example, if you're basting something together, you'd change the stitch length regulator to a higher number). The width of the stitch is controlled when sewing with an alternative stitch, such as a zigzag.
