hands are free to guide the fabric.

■ Sewing

Position the fabric (reverse side facing up)

under the presser foot. Lower the needle 3 mm (approx. 1/8 inch) from the edges of the fabric, lower the presser foot, then sew 2 or 3 stitches.

Without allowing the fabric to stick out from

the right side of the presser foot, lightly pull on the thread while slowly sewing.

ENGLISH

a 3 mm (approx. 1/8 inch)

Raise the needle and the presser foot, then

hold the ends of the upper thread and lower thread to prevent them from being pulled out of the fabric and pull the fabric out from the front of the presser foot.

Holding both threads, pass them through the

curled part of the presser foot and pull them toward the back of the presser foot. Wrap the fabric around the curled part of the presser foot in the same way. Position the edge of the fabric just behind the needle and lower the presser foot.

After sewing 2 to 3 cm (approx. 1 to 1-3/16

inches) of the fabric, release the thread and guide the fabric from the front of the presser foot with your left hand. Keep a uniform amount of fabric wrapped around the presser foot curl until the seam is completed.

■ Hints

• If too little fabric is wrapped around the curl and a threefold seam is not being sewn:

Pull the fabric held in your right hand to the left in order to increase the amount of fabric wrapped in the presser foot curl. At the same time, carefully guide the fabric to the right with your left hand.

• If too much fabric is wrapped around the curl and a wide threefold seam is being sewn:

Pull the fabric held in your right hand to the right in order to decrease the amount of fabric wrapped in the presser foot curl. At the same time, carefully guide the extra fabric to the left with your left hand.

Cording foot (3 cord guide)

■ Use

Embellish clothing and household linens with decorative threads.

Cording foot (3 cord guide)

■ Preparing to sew

Remove presser foot and attach snap-on cording foot.

• Suggested Stitches

• Foot control

Using your foot controller will help you to have both hands free for easier fabric handling.

■ Sewing

Feed cords, one by one, from the right side of the cording foot spring into their respective guides.

Draw cording under foot and extend the cord 4-5 mm (approx. 3/16 inch) behind foot. When using 2 or 3 cords, be careful to make sure that cords are not trampled under the front of foot.

Zigzag Stretch Zigzag Decorative Satin Stitch

• Zigzag stitch width

Triple Cording stretch

Select dotted zigzag stitch and sew at a maximum stitch width of 5 mm (approx. 3/16 inch).

Place cloth under foot. Lower foot and sew.

• Stitch Length

Select desired stitch length. Remember that the results will vary based on the stitch length you have selected.
