Reinforced Straight Stitch

Turn the stitch length dial to the area
to sew reinforced straight stitch
. This stitch is stronger than ordinary
straight stitch, due to the fact that it is a
triple and elastic stitch.
The reinforced straight stitch can be used for
heavy stretch fabrics, for crotch seams which
are subject to considerable strain and for
topstitching in heavy fabrics.

Needle Positions

You can select straight stitch and reinforced
straight stitch, with the needle in left posi-
tion. The needle position can be adjusted in
steps. Use the stitch width dial, turn to the
right to reach the right position.
To edge stitch, you should take advantage of
the possibility to set the needle to the left or
the right position.
Fit presser foot A when sewing light fabrics
and presser foot D for other fabrics.
Place the fabric and sew so that the edge
follows the inside right edge of the presser
foot D or the fi rst mark of the left edge of
the presser foot A.
If you wish to sew about 5 mm from the
edge or sew a narrow hem, use presser foot
A and set the needle to the right position.
Place the edge of the fabric so that it follows
the outside right edge of the presser foot
and sew the hem.
