SEAM AND OVERCAST
The Seam/Overcast stitch sews the seam and overcasts the
edge all at one time. There are a number of different Seam/
Overcast stitches on your sewing machine to give the best
result for your chosen fabric.
BASTE
Basting is temporary stitching for fitting garments, gathering
and marking.
The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR
sets a long stitch length and reduces the tension so the threads
are easy to remove or to pull for gathering.
Place the fabrics right sides together. Put the fabric in position
under the presser foot with 5/8" (15 mm) seam allowance.
Stitch along seam line.
To remove stitching pull the bobbin thread.
BLIND HEM
The blind hem creates an invisible hem on a garment. There
are two types of blind hem; one is recommended for medium
to heavy stretch fabric, the other for medium to heavy woven
fabric.
Fold the fabric as illustrated. Make sure the folded edge of
the fabric follows the inside of the right "toe" of Blind Hem
Foot D.
The left swing of the needle should just catch the edge of the
folded fabric.
If necessary, adjust the stitch width as needed to barely
"catch" the fold.
Note: The blind hem technique is not recommended for light weight
fabric or leather/vinyl. If you select the blind hem and light woven, light
stretch or leather and vinyl you will hear a beep and the technique will be
unselected.
