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.
