Sewing in tape
The standard presser foot is equipped with a tape
guide. A tape can be sewn into the shoulder or side
seams of garments made from knits or stretch fab-
rics to prevent stretching.
• Turn handwheel towards you until needles are fully
raised. Match the matching up marks on hand-
wheel and side cover.
• Raise the presser foot.
• Lay the tape under the presser foot and slide it
carefully into the tape slot.
• Lower the presser foot.
• Sew a few stitches on the tape.
• Loosen the setscrew (A) and adjust the tape guide
to suit the width of the tape (B).
• Re-tighten setscrew.
• Raise the tip of the presser foot and place work
underneath. Sew.
Carrying out hemming and narrow over-
locking
The sewing machine incorporates the hemming de-
vice to enable roll hemming and narrow overlocking.
The sewing machine is able to overlock the material
edges such as bottoms and sleeve cuffs beautifully
while automatically folding them inwardly.
Preparation for hemming
1. Install the right needle only.
2. Pull the overlocking width changeover knob to-
ward you to lower the overlocking claw.
3. Set the lower knife adjusting knob at the scale
mark "1 to 1.5".
4. When using filament thread or woolly nylon
thread, set the stitch length adjustment dial (stitch
length) at "1 to 1.5".
Roll hemming (A)
The roll hemming is the stitch system that laps the
material edge with the upper looper thread.
Narrow overlocking (B)
The narrow overlocking is the overlock stitch system
overlocking width of which is narrower than the stan-
dard one.
