smaller projects.
Attach the straight stitch neede plate when piecing
your quilt. The smaller hole in the straight stitch
needle plate supports the fabric closer to the
needle and helps prevent the fabric from being
pulled down into the bobbin area, especially at
the beginning and/or end of a seam. In addition,
when chain piecing, it is sometimes helpful to begin
sewing on a leader cloth and then continue with the
piecing.
The patchwork program makes it possible for you
to program an exact seam length that can be sewn
repeatedly. This is very useful when quilting,
especially when piecing many quilt blocks of the
same size.
See page 4:13 on how to use the patchwork
program.
