Useful skills

Reverse

Reverse stitching is used to secure the threads at the beginning and at the end of a seam.

Press the reverse button and sew 4-5 stitches. The machine will sew forward when the button is released.

Sewing corners

1. Stop the sewing machine when you reach a corner.

2. Lower the needle into the fabric manually or by pressing the needle up/ down button once.

3. Raise the presser foot.

4. Use the needle as a pivot and turn the fabric.

5. Lower the presser foot and resume sewing.

Free arm

Free-arm sewing is convenient for sewing tubular areas such as pant hems and cuffs.

Useful skills

Sewing on the heavy fabric

The black button on the left side of the presser foot will lock the presser foot in a horizontal position if you push it in before lowering the presser foot. This ensures even feeding at the beginning of a seam and helps when sewing multiple layers of fabric such as sewing over seams when hemming jeans.

When you reach the point of an increased thickness, lower the needle and raise the presser foot. Press the toe of the foot and push in the black button, then lower the foot and continue sewing.

The black button releases automatically after sewing few stitches.

You also can place another piece of fabric with the same thickness at the back of the seam. Or support the presser foot while feeding by hand and sewing toward the folded side.

Adjusting the stitch length

The density of zigzag stitches increase as the setting of stitch length approaches "0.3".

Neat zigzag stitches are usually achieved at "1.0-2.5".

Closed up zigzag stitches (close together) are referred to as a satin stitch.

Zigzag stitches

Straight stitches and needle position

It assures you of a stitch that is strong and flexible and will give with the fabric without breaking. Good for easy to ravel and knit fabrics. It is good for joining durable fabric such as denims.

These stitches can also be used as a decorative top stitch.

Triple zigzag stretch stitch is suitable for firm fabrics like denim, poplin, duck, etc.

Straight stretch stitch is used to add triple reinforcement to stretch and hardwearing seams.

Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel forwards by hand until the needle swings fully to the left. It should just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does not, adjust the stitch width accordingly.

Adjust the guide (b) by turning the knob (a) so that the guide just rests against the fold.

Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge of the guide.

Turn over the fabric.
