Basting stitch

With stitch 10 you can baste a garment before trying it on.
When you press the foot control, the machine will sew one
stitch at a time. Press the foot control again for each stitch.
• Lower the feed dog and disengage the IDT.
• Place the fabric under the presser foot.
• Sew one stitch, then move the fabric the required amount to
the rear.
• Continue to sew one stitch at a time until you nish basting.
Tip: Light fabrics are easier to baste with long straight stitches (6
mm). In this case the bottom feed need not be lowered. Use stitch
1, stitch length 6.0 mm.

Top stitching

The straight stitch can be sewn in 13 different needle positions
allowing you to guide the presser foot along the fabric edge for
top stitching. The distance between the rows of topstitching is
then determined by the needle positions.
You can also space your rows of topstitching by the width of
the presser foot. Begin topstitching further from the fabric edge,
by using the guide marks on the needle plate, or the edge guide.
The guide marks are given in cm and inches. The edge guide is
inserted into hole C and is secured with set screw F.
