Utility Stitches
Straight stitches
Patterns U1 to U6 are straight stitches for seaming.
Press the pattern selection key of the desired stitch.
Starting to sew
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a
seam guideline on the needle plate. Lower the needle
to the point where you want to start.
Pull the needle and bobbin threads towards the rear.
Press the start/stop button or foot control. Gently guide
the fabric along the seam guideline letting the fabric
feed naturally.
Sewing from the edge of thick fabric
The black button on the zigzag foot locks the foot in the
horizontal position.
This is helpful when you start sewing at the extreme
edge of thick fabrics or sewing across a hem.
Lower the needle into the fabric at the point where you
wish to start sewing.
Lower the foot while pushing in the black button. The
foot will be locked in the horizontal position to avoid
slipping.
Changing sewing direction:
Stop the machine and bring the needle down into the
fabrics by pressing the needle up/down button.
Raise the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle to change the sewing
direction as desired.
Lower the presser foot and start sewing in a new
direction.
