USEFUL SKILLS

Sewing on the heavy fabric

The black button on the right 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.

Cardboard or

thick fabric

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.

23

STRAIGHT STITCHES AND NEEDLE POSITION

want to use a long stitch length. The stitch length will be set automatically to a maximum length of "4.0" even if you select "4.5".

ZIGZAG STITCHES

Adjusting the stitch width

The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is "7"; however, the width can be reduced on any patterns. The width increases as you press the zigzag button from "0" - "7.0".

Attention:

For twin needle sewing, never set the width wider than "3.5".

Adjusting the stitch length

The density of zigzag stitches increase as the setting of stitch length dial approaches "0.2".

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

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

24

STRETCH STITCH

Straight stretch stitch

Straight stitch

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.

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

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