Pins
If you pin your work, remove the pins while sewing before
they get near the knife, or pin parallel about 2 cm (1") from
the fabric edge (see 1, 2).
Tip:
Use pins with coloured heads which are easier to see in
thicker, soft fabrics.

Tape guide

The standard presser foot is equipped with a guide for sewing
on tape to strengthen or stabilise shoulder, or side seams in
garments made from knits or stretch fabrics. The guide is
also ideal for sewing on narrow elastic for lingerie, swim and
gymwear.
· Raise the needles (Needle stop).
· Raise and swing the presser foot out.
· Place the tape under the foot, slip it into the guide from the
right and pull through slightly.
· Swing the presser foot back and lower it.
· Sew a few stitches on the tape.
· If necessary, loosen the fixation screw (1) and adjust the
tape guide to suit the width of the tape (2).
· Retighten the screw.
· Raise the tip of the presser foot, place work underneath the
tape/elastic and sew.
