Hemming jeans
Use the Gliding foot to sew fabric of varying thicknesses, especially when hemming
jeans.
WARNING
The thickness of the layers must not exceed 8 mm (0.32 inch). Do not
force fabric layers under the presser foot.
Doing so could break the needle and cause injuries.
Use this presser foot only with stitch number 6 (straight stitch
(center)).
Not doing so could cause the needle to hit the presser foot and break,
which may result in injuries.
Attention
Do not sew without placing fabric under the presser foot.
Doing so could damage the presser foot.
Change to the gliding foot.
Set the stich length dial to "4".
