Bar Tacks - Brother DreamWeaver„ XE VM6200D Operation Manual

SEWING THE STITCHES
e
Gently hold the end of the upper thread,
and then press the "Start/Stop" button to
start the machine.
→ Once sewing is completed, the machine
automatically sews reinforcement stitches, and then
stops.
Memo
• If automatic thread cutting is turned on
before you start sewing, both threads are
automatically cut after the reinforcement
stitches are sewn. If the fabric does not feed
(for example, because it is too thick),
increase the stitch length setting.

Bar Tacks

Use bar tacks to reinforce areas that will be subject
to strain, such as pocket corners.
See page S-62 for the detailed information of
stitches.

Memo
• Bar tacks can be between 5 mm (approx.
3/16 inch) and 28 mm (approx. 1-1/16
inches). Bar tacks are usually between 5
mm (approx. 3/16 inch) and 10 mm (approx.
3/8 inch).
Note
• Pass the thread underneath the presser
foot.
• Slide the outside frame of the buttonhole
foot backward as far as possible as shown
in the illustration, making sure that there is
no gap behind the part of the foot marked
"A". If the buttonhole foot is not slid back as
far as possible, the bar tack will not be sewn
to the correct size.
