nice ornamental

Buttonhole thread can also be wound on the bob
bin and used as bobbin thread In this case,
sewing thread should be used in the needle. For
this sewing job the needle thread tension must be
set relatively high. For topstitching, the fabric is
placed in the machine wrong side up. Select the
longest stitch. For topstitching, a No. 80 needle
may be used
• For difficult top-stitch seams we recommend
using the straight-stitch foot and the round-
hole needle plate (special accessory).
• Before you fit these, set the needle at its
middle position.

Needle:
twin needle,
needle gauge, as desired
The twin needle can be used not only for embroi
dery work, but also for top-stitching. It produces a
particularly attractive effect along hem edges and
on facings.
Fold the bottom edge, the facing or border edge
over to the wrong side and baste it down. Sew on
the right side of the fabric with the twin needle.
Trim away the excess material on the wrong side.
(For threading instructions see page 96),
Through adjustment of the needle (needle posi
tion), certain sewing work can be carried out
easier. For example, if you wish to stitch at a nar
row margin such as on collars or when inserting
zippers, you select the required needle position.
• For changing the needle position, the needle
must always be in the highest position.
