3mm– 4mm) with denim, shorter length(2mm–2.5mm)
with batiste
Adjust the stitch length to suit the thread:
· e.g. use a longer stitch length (approximately
3 mm – 5 mm) when sewing with cordonnet thread for
top stitching
Activate needle stop down
· prevents the fabric slipping when you stop to adjust it
