Presser Foot Types

• Zigzag foot (Foot A)

Use this foot for both straight and zigzag stitching.

Straight stitch foot (Foot H)

Use this foot for exclusively for straight stitching with center needle position.

Automatic buttonhole foot (Foot R)

Use this foot for one step automatic buttonhole sewing. Simply set a button on the guide of this foot and depress

the foot control. You can sew exactly the same length of

buttonhole as the button.

' Zipper foot (Foot E)

This foot can be set to sew on each side of the zipper. The edge of the foot guides the zipper and keeps the

seam straight.

Overedge foot (Foot C)

This foot is specially constructed for stitching and/or

overcasting seams. The small brush and wire guides help control the fabric, hold the raw edge in place and keep it

from puckering, especially when sewing on knit fabrics.

Satin stitch foot (Foot F)

Use this foot for satin stitch and outlining applique.

Blind hem stitch foot (Foot G)

Use this foot for perfect blind hemming and topstitching.

The foot has ridges on the bottom to keep the fabric from

slipping and a screw on top to guide the folded edge of your hem.

Page 17

1/4"Seam foot {Foot O)

This foot is useful for patchwork quilt. The guide on the foot maintains an exact 1/4" {0.7 cm) seam ailowance.

Embroidety foot {Foot P)

This foot is a speciai attachment for professionahstyie

embroidery.

•Walking foot

This is special attachment for hard-to-feed materials. This foot effectively prevents fabrics from shifting and

puckering. It is great for quilting and matching plaids.

Page 18

Selecting Needle and Fabric

For genera! sewing, use needie sizes 11 or 14. A fine thread and needie should be used for sewing lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will not be marred. Heavy fabrics require a needle large enough to pierce the fabric without fraying the needle thread. In the needie set, there is one each of sizes 11,14,16, and 18, and a blue needle. Use the blue needie to eliminate skipped stitches when sewing knits and synthetic

fabrics.

Special needles should be used on certain fabrics. A denim needle with a sharp tip effectively pierces dense fabrics such as denim and canvas. For topstitching, a special topstitching needie with a larger eye, accommodates heavier weight thread. Leather needles punch small holes in leather and suede, allowing the thread to

follow through the hole.

Check your needles frequently for rough or blunt tips. Snags and runs in knits, fine silks and silk-like fabrics are permanent, and are often caused by damaged needles. Always purchase a good quality thread. It should be strong, smooth and consistent in thickness.

Adjust the Needle Thread Tension for Zigzag

Stitch

For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not show on the right side (Top side) of the fabric, and the needle thread shows siightly on the wrong side (Bottom side) of the

fabric.

See the illustrations for the correct appearance. To match this appearance, adjust the needle tension.

• Correct tension

(T) Right side (Top side) of fabric (D Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric

Minimize the amount of needle thread visible on the

wrong side (Bottom side) of the fabric without causing

excessive puckering, or causing the bobbin thread to show on the right side (Top side) of the fabric. Results vary with fabric, thread and sewing conditions.

•Tension is too tight

(T) Right side (Top side) of fabric (D Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric

The corner of each zigzag pulls together on the right side

of the fabric.

•Tension is too loose

(T) Right side (Top side) of fabric (D Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric

The corner of each zigzag pulls together on the wrong

side of the fabric.

(D Presser foot A: Zigzag foot (6) Pressure dial 3 This stitch is often used as a seam finish to prevent fraying. If using a zigzag foot, start overedging with the leftmost needle position about 1/8" (0.3 cm) from the raw edge of a fabric. The right tip of the stitch should just clear the raw fabric. For lightweight fabrics, use the overedge foot. To sew, line the fabric edge up with the inner side of the brush holder seam guide

Note:

When using an overedge foot, make sure to set the stitch width at 5 to 7.0, otherwise the needle may hit the

overedge foot.

Seam finishing

This stitch is used to finish the seam allowance on

synthetics and other fabrics that tend to pucker. The stitch is also excellent for darning and mending tears. Place your fabric to allow a 5/8" (1.5 cm) seam. Trim excess close to stitching. Be careful not to cut the stitches.

Mending

Position the tear under the needle so that the stitch catches both sides.

stabilizer

To obtain the best quality ennbroidery, it is important to use stabilizers.

Types of Stabilizer

• Tear-away stabilizer

Tear-away stabilizer is made from a fiber that will tear

easily. Use tear-away stabilizers for stable woven fabrics.

After stitching, tear away the stabilizer so that the small

portion left in the back of the stitching will not affect the

wear.

• Iron-on stabilizer

Iron-on stabilizer is an adhesive type stabilizer for knits and all kinds of unstable fabrics. Fuse it to the wrong side of the fabrics with an iron.

• Cut-away stabilizer

Cut-away stabilizer is a non-woven fabric that does not

tear. Cut the excess portion after stitching. Use cut-away

stabilizers for knits and ail kinds of unstable fabrics.

• Water soluble stabilizer

Water soluble stabilizer will dissolve in water. Use this

stabilizer for cutwork or lace embroidery, and also for the right side of looped fabrics such as towel to avoid loops coming through the embroidery.

• Sticky stabilizer

Sticky stabilizer is a sticky paper used for securing a small

fabric or work that cannot be secured in the hoop. It is

also used for velvet and other napped fabric that would be permanently marked by the hoop.

Usage:

• The stabilizer should be attached to the wrong side of fabric.

• More than one layer may be required.

• For firm fabrics, you may place a thin paper under the fabric.

• Non-adhesive stabilizer should be used when

embroidering fabric which cannot be ironed or for sections which are difficult to iron.

• Cut the stabilizer larger than the embroidery hoop and set

it on the hoop so that the entire piece is fastened with the hoop to prevent looseness of the fabric.

Adhesive (iron-on) stabilizer

Place the wrong side of fabric (T) and the glossy side of the

stabilizer (D together. Fold up a corner of the stabilizer (D

and fuse it with an iron.

(T) Wrong side of fabric

(2) Stabilizer CD Corner of the stabilizer

Notes;

• Fold up a corner of the stabilizer, to make it easier to peel off the excess stabilizer after stitching.

• Ironing temperatures vary depending on kind of adhesive type stabilizer.
