Basting stitch
With stitch 10 you can baste a garment before trying it on.
When you press the foot control, the machine will sew one
stitch at a time. Press the foot control again for each stitch.
• Lower the feed dog and disengage the IDT.
• Place the fabric under the presser foot.
• Sew one stitch, then move the fabric the required
amount to the rear.
• Continue to sew one stitch at a time until you nish
basting.
Tip: Light fabrics are easier to baste with long straight stitches (6
mm). In this case the bottom feed need not be lowered. Use
stitch 1, stitch length 6.0 mm.

Top stitching
The straight stitch can be sewn in 13 different needle
positions allowing you to guide the presser foot along the
fabric edge for top stitching. The distance between the rows
of topstitching is then determined by the needle positions.

You can also space your rows of topstitching by the width
of the presser foot. Begin topstitching further from the fabric
edge, by using the guide marks on the needle plate, or the
edge guide. The guide marks are given in cm and inches.
The edge guide is inserted into hole C and is secured with
set screw F.
Feed aid for thick seams
To ensure precise feeding at the beginning of a thick seam,
place a piece of fabric of the same thickness as the seam
under the presser foot to support it.
