Lower the presser foot and step on the foot
control.
The left swing of the needle should just
catch the edge of the folded fabric.
If neccessary, adjust the stitch width as
needed to barely "catch" the fold by touch-
ing + or - on your stitch width button.
Hem
For sewing hems we recommend that
you use a straight stitch for woven fabric,
leather and vinyl, and stretch stitches for
stretch fabrics.
Jeans Hem
When sewing over seams in extra heavy
fabric or a blue jeans hem, the foot can tip
as the machine climbs over the seam. The
needle can hit the tipped foot and break.
Use the clearance plate to balance the
height of the hem as you sew.

One side of the plate is thicker than the
other. Use the side that suits the thickness
of the seam best.

Fold a hem to the wrong side and stitch
with atlock stitch on the right side. Trim
away excess fabric.
Use this technique for belt loops as well.
