Baste; Darning And Mending - Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 875 Quilt User Manual

Baste

Basting is temporary stitching for tting garments, gathering and
marking.
The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature automatically sets
a long stitch length and reduces the tension* so the threads are
easy to remove or to pull for gathering.
Place the fabrics right sides together. Put the fabric in position
under the presser foot with 5/8" (15 mm) seam allowance. Stitch
along seam line.
To remove stitching pull the bobbin thread.

Darning and mending

Darning a small hole or a tear before it becomes larger can save a
garment. Choose a ne thread in a color as close to your garment
as possible.
1. Place the fabric in position under the presser foot.
2. Start sewing above the hole and over it.
3. Once over the hole, press the Reverse button. Continue
sewing. The machine sews back and forth across the hole 14
times and then stops.
4. To repeat the stitch with the same size, press the STOP
button. Reposition your fabric, then step on the foot control
to sew again. The stitch will now repeat the same size darning
square. The machine will stop automatically when the stitch is
completed.
