Sewing Techniques
1.
Seam:
sews two pieces of fabric together.
2.
Overcast:
finish fabric edges to prevent them from
fraying and help them lay flat.
3.
Seam/overcast:
sews the seam and overcasts the edge
all at one time.
4.
Baste:
a temporary stitching for fitting 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.
5.
Blind hem:
creates an invisible hem on garments. Is not
recommended for light weight fabric or for leather/vinyl.
6.
Hem:
selects the best visible or top stitch hem for your
fabric type and weight.
7.
Buttonhole:
the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™
feature selects the best buttonhole possible for your
fabric.
