In order to beautifully sew a pattern on light-weight material

, trial stitching is necessary while sticking a piece of inter-

❶

lining on the wrong side of the material.

Use an iron to attach a fusible interlining to the wrong side of

fabric.

* If stitch length is excessively short, the bobbin thread may

appear on the right side of material or may cause stitch

gathering.

Be sure to adjust the darning and carry out trial stitching.

Storing the length of the tapering stitch pattern in memory

●

After you have completed sewing, the

length of seam you have just sewn can be

c h e c k e d b y s e t t i n g [ T a p e r i n g l e n g t h ] t o O N .

If you re-start sewing from that state, you can sew ta-

pering stitches by the same seam length in repetition.

History

◆◆

In the state that [Tapering length] is place in ON,

the tapering length is also stored in memory to

allow the data to be called up with the history tab.

The setting that has been used for sewing the

pattern immediately before changing the pattern is

stored in memory under the history tab.

If you want to store two or more settings for one

pattern, it is necessary to store the settings one

after another by changing the pattern each time.

* The buttonhole length is automatically determined only by

placing a button on the buttonhole presser foot.

* The machine can sew buttonholes for buttons with diameters

of 0.7 - 3.2 cm.

* In case of stretchy fabrics, use non-elastic interlining on the

wrong side of the fabric.

* Make sure to perform test sewing to see that the machine

sews buttonholes correctly.

* Buttonhole Nos. 114 - 117 are for knit fabrics and should be

used with a knit needle.

It is called free motion quilting when moving the fabrics freely

towards any directions without using the feed dog of sewing

machine.

Free curve seams, etc. can be produced with the feed dog

lowered (drop feed) regardless of the direction of sewing (i.e.,

360 degrees) by moving the material by hand.

Put top layer of fabric with patchwork and/

or appliqué, quilting cotton and bottom fabric together by using pin or basting stitches.

Assemble the quilt presser foot.

Adjust the presser foot height according

to the material thickness.

Height of the presser foot can be changed with the

・

presser foot screw.

It is also possible to adjust the presser foot height

・

using the micro-lifter height setting function.

(Refer to page 38)

The material can be moved smoothly with no resistance by adjusting the presser foot height to about

1 mm ❸ above the material.

* The sewing machine is capable of sewing beau-

tifully even multi-layered sections of material by decreasing the presser foot pressure.

Page 97

Use both hands to hold the fabrics and

move it without letting it loose. The target stitch length is about 1.5 to

2.0 mm.

When you have completed sewing of free-

motion quilting, press the feed dog UP / DOWN / LOCK MODE button to lower the feed dog.

The feed dog will be up and engaged at the same time

as the machine starts to sew.

* The quilt ruler is also applicable.

Tips

How to lock stitches

●

At sewing start, pull up the bobbin thread on the top layer of the fabric, hold both needle and bobbin threads

・

together and sew 3 stitches on the same point. After that move fabrics as you wish.

In this way, stitches on the wrong side of the fabrics look neat.

At sewing-end sew 3 stitches on the same point and stop.

・

How to sew stitches with the same stitch length

●

When the foot controller is used, the fabrics can be guided by both hands and you can move the fabrics

・

freely.

Set the speed controller to medium or medium low rst, press the foot controller completely and move the

・

fabrics. → if stitches become too large, set the speed controller to “faster” → if stitches become too small, set the speed controller to “slower”.
