your fabric weight and type. For woven fabric and leather and vinyl, a straight stitch is selected. For stretch fabrics, stitches that

Jeans Hem
When sewing over seams in extra heavy fabric or a jeans hem,
the presser foot may tip as it rides over the seam. Use the
multipurpose tool to balance the height of the presser foot as
you sew.
Press Needle Up/Down to select the needle down position.
Begin sewing the bottom hem at or near the center back. As
you near the side seam, stop sewing. Your machine stops with
the needle in the fabric. Raise the presser foot and insert the
multipurpose tool from behind.
Both sides of the multipurpose tool are raised. Use the side
which corresponds closest to the thickness of the seam. Lower
the presser foot and continue sewing slowly over the thick
seam.
Stop sewing again just in front of the seam with the needle in
the fabric. Remove the multipurpose tool and re-insert it under
the presser foot from the front.
Sew a few stitches until the whole presser foot has passed the
seam and is resting on the multipurpose tool. Stop sewing
once again. The needle is in the fabric. Raise the presser foot
and remove the multipurpose tool. Continue sewing the hem.
Tip: When sewing in heavy denim, use a special Denim Needle designed
to penetrate tightly woven fabrics. These are available as optional
accessories, please consult the HUSQVARNA VIKING
Catalogue, available at www.husqvarnaviking.com.
