be sewn into the shoulder or side seams of garments made from
knits or stretch fabrics to prevent stretching.

•
Raise the presser foot.
•
Lay the tape under the presser foot and slide it carefully into
the tape slot.
•
Lower the presser foot and sew a few stitches until the right-
hand needle catches the left-hand edge of the tape.
•
Loosen the setscrew (A) and adjust the tape guide to suit the
width of the tape (B).
•
Retighten setscrew.

Sew.
Thread breakage during sewing
Sew off immediately at an angle and remove the work. Rethread.
If the lower looper thread has broken, cut off both needle threads
at the needle and remove the thread. First thread the looper and
then the needle. Start sewing again about 2-3 cm in front of
where the thread broke.
