SEWING
Sewing
Next to each stitch or sewing technique described in this sec-
tion of the manual is a chart showing the recommended settings
and presser foot. See sample of the chart to the right.
The recommended settings are also shown on the display, but
might need adjustment to fit a special technique.
Note: Some fabrics have a lot of excess dye which can cause
discoloration on other fabric but also on your sewing machine.
This discoloring may be very difficult or impossible to remove.
Fleece and denim fabric in especially red and blue often con-
tain a lot of excess dye. If you suspect that your fabric/ready-
to-wear garment contains a lot of excess dye, always pre-wash
it before sewing to avoid the discoloring.
Note: For best sewing result, use the same thread on top and
bobbin. If sewing with specialty/decorative threads, use regular
sewing thread in the bobbin.
Start to Sew – Straight Stitch
Set your machine for straight stitch (see chart to the right).
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric under it, next to a
seam allowance guide line on the needle plate.
Place the top thread underneath the presser foot. Pull both
threads under the presser foot toward the back of the machine,
leaving about 6" (15cm) clear.
Lower the needle to the point where you want to start. Bring
the threads toward the back and lower the presser foot. Press
the foot control. Gently guide the fabric along the seam guide
letting the machine feed the fabric (A).
To secure the beginning of a seam, press and hold the reverse
button. Sew a few reverse stitches. Release the reverse button
and the machine will sew forward again (B).
Change Needle Position
Some sewing is done more easily by changing the needle posi-
tion, e.g., topstitching a collar or sewing in a zipper. The needle
position is adjusted with the stitch width control buttons.
