new direction.

Finish Sewing

Press and hold the Reverse button and sew a few stitches in

highest position. Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric,
pulling the threads to the back.
Pull the threads up and into the thread knife so that the threads
are cut the proper length and your needle won't come unthread-
ed when you start the next seam.
Note: Your machine can only sew straight stitch and zigzag
stitch - 1-001 to 1-003, 1-008, and 1-010 to 1-012 in reverse.

Seam and Overcast

The seam/overcast stitch sews the seam and overcasts the
edges all at one time. The seam/overcast technique is perfect
for stitching ribbed neckbands and cuffs. There are a number
of different seam/overcast stitches in your machine. Overcast
fabric edges to prevent fraying and to help them lay flat. It is
easier to overcast before the garment is sewn together.
