PIN PLACEMENT
Insert the pins to the left of the presser foot. The pins will
be easy to remove and are away from the cutting action of
the knives.
Caution: Sewing over pins will damage and/or destroy the
cutting edge of the knives.
SECURING THE THREAD CHAIN
1. Thread a large eye, hand sewing needle (such as a
tapestry needle) with the thread chain.
2. Insert the needle into the end of the seam to secure
the thread.
☞
Note: To secure a rolled hem thread chain, see
instructions on page 35.
REINFORCING A SEAM
Inserting twill tape while overedge sewing will stabilize the
seam.
1. Insert the tape through the hole in front of the foot.
2. Position the tape under the foot to the back of the
machine and sew the garment seam.
3. The tape is attached as the seam is sewn.
