Sewing lightweight fabrics

The sewing machine can sew fabrics up to 6 mm(1/4 '') thick. If the
thickness of a seam causes sewing to occur on an angle, help
guide the fabric by hand and sew on the downward slope.
CAUTION
Do not forcefully push fabrics more than 6 mm
(1/4'') thick through the sewing machine. This may
cause the needle to break and cause injury.
If the presser foot lever is in the up position, and you are sewing
heavyweight or multiple layers of fabric which do not fit easily
under the presser foot, raise the presser foot lever as high as
possible by hand to bring the presser foot to its highest position.
The fabric will now fit under the presser foot.
If the presser foot is not level and the fabric does not feed at the
beginning of sewing (as shown at left), place a piece of fabric,
paper or cardboard of the same thickness as the fabric being sewn
under the back of the presser foot. The machine can then sew
normally.
1 Fabric
2 Thick paper
2
Place thin paper or stabilizer material under the fabric before sew-
ing.
* Use a straight stitch foot to eliminate any puckering. Remem-
ber to select the middle needle position. Additional adjustment
of stitch length and tension may be necessary.
