Straight Stitch

When the machine is turned on, it is automatically set to
sew a straight stitch in the center needle position.
The straight stitch is used to sew a seam in woven
fabrics. The straight stitch can also be used for
gathering, basting, sewing in a zipper, pintucks, rolled
hems and twin needle hems.
NOTE: Test sew a swatch of fabric and check thread
tension. Adjust tension dial if necessary. See page 10.

Starting To Sew

Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a
seam allowance line on the needle plate.
Pull the threads under the foot towards the back and
lower the presser foot.
Press the foot control. Gently guide the fabric along the
seam allowance line letting the fabric feed naturally.
Remove foot from foot control to stop sewing.
