Sewing Tips & Hints
Sewing with Decorative Thread in the
Loopers
Heavy decorative threads can be a beautiful highlight to your
sewing project. Thread the loopers as described in the
threading section (see page 35).
When using decorative threads, remove the spool holder and
place the spool caps as shown, to prevent the thread from
getting caught on the edge of the spool.
Gathering with Differential Feed
The differential feed can be used to gather lightweight fabrics.
Use it for sleeves, making ruffles, and more.
Set the differential feed between 1.5 and 2 to obtain the best
gathering effect for your project. Always test sew on a scrap
piece of your fabric first. See page 54, to learn how to adjust
the differential feed.
Set the stitch length to 4-5 depending on the fabric.
Sewing Corners
Outer Corners
Trim three of the corners approximately 1¼" (3cm) as
illustrated (A). Start sewing at the corner that is not trimmed.
When you reach a corner, stop the machine. Raise the needle
and the presser foot. Remove the threads from the stitch
finger. Turn the fabric and align the cutting line with the
upper knife (B).
Lower the presser foot lifter. Continue to sew from where
the previous stitches on the corner ended.
