Sewing hints

Free arm
To facilitate sewing trouser legs and
sleeve hems use the free arm.
The free arm also allows you to
darn socks (the darning foot is an
optional accessory).
Jeans hem
When sewing over seams in extra
heavy fabric or a blue jeans hem,
the foot can tip as the machine
climbs over the seam. The needle
can hit the tipped foot and break. In
this case, use the clearance plate to
balance the height of the hem as you
sew.
Place the clearance plate behind
the foot as you approach the hem
and in front of the foot as you sew
over the hem thickness. Remove the
clearance plate before sewing in to
it.

Sewing on belt loops

Use presser foot B and lower the
feed teeth. Fold in about 1 cm on
the short ends. Place the belt loop
on the garment and under the
presser foot. Set a wide zigzag stitch.
Sew a bartack from the outer edge
to the center of the loop, move the
material and sew a new bartack.
Continue to sew along the loop's
short side.
