Let's try straight stitch sewing.
1
Lightly step on the foot controller to begin sewing.
* Since the stitching will become a zigzag if the foot controller is
pressed too much, lightly step on the foot controller.
Tip
If it is difficult to adjust the foot controller, set the stitch width to
"0". The needle will not move back and forth, making it easy to
sew straight stitches.
2
Move the fabric with your hands to follow the outlines of the drawings.
3
Sew by moving the fabric slowly in all directions (forwards, backwards and sideways).
Tip
When drawing the circle using a straight stitch, move the fabric in a circular motion.
