Positioning The Fabric - Brother 885-U20 Operation Manual

Positioning the fabric

Be sure that the fabric pieces are sewn in the correct
order and that the right and wrong sides of the fabric
are aligned correctly.
1 Turn on the sewing machine.
The straight stitch (left needle position) is
automatically selected.
2 Press ("Needle Position" button) once
or twice to raise the needle.
1 "Needle Position" button
3 Place the fabric under the presser foot.
• If the seam allowance is positioned on the
right side, sewing in a straight line is easier
and the extra fabric does not get in the way.
4 While holding the end of the thread and the
fabric with your left hand, turn the handwheel
toward you (counterclockwise) with your
right hand to lower the needle to the starting
point of the stitching.
