Pin placement
Insert straight pins to the left of the presser
foot. The pins will be easy to remove and are
away from the cutters.
n Warning
Sewing over pins will damage and might
destroy the edge of the cutters.
Securing thread chain
1. Thread the chain into a large eyed, hand
sewing needle.
2. Insert the needle into the end of the seam
and pull the chain into the seam to secure
the threads.
Corded overlock
Corded overlock can be used to strengthen
stitches when joining elastic fabrics such
as knits. Cording prevents knit fabrics from
stretching and also stabilizes the seams.
1. Insert the cord through the hole in the front
of the foot.
2. Position the cord under the foot to the back
of the machine and sew the garment seam.
3. The cord is attached in the stitch as the
seam is sewn.
Gathering using the differential feed
The differential feed can be used to gather
lightweight fabrics. Use it for sleeves, making
ruffles, and more.
Set the differential feed between 1.5 and 2
to obtain the best gathering effect for your
project. Always try on a scrap piece of your
fabric first. See differential feed adjustment to
learn how to adjust the differential feed.
