a Basting
c
Cut the thread at the end leaving 50 mm
(approx. 2 inches), and then tie both ends
together.
* Do not sew a reverse stitch at the end.
d
Insert the ends of the thread into the dart
with a hand sewing needle.
e
Iron the dart to one side so that it is flat.
• When using the straight stitch needle plate,
many straight stitches become middle
needle position stitches. If a straight stitch
is selected that is not applicable for use
when the straight stitch needle plate is
attached, an error message will be
displayed to prevent the use of this stitch.
You cannot change the needle position
using the L/R Shift.
• Slowly rotate the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) before sewing and make
sure that the needle is not contacting the
straight stitch foot and straight stitch needle
plate.
• To prevent puckering on fine fabrics, use a
fine needle, size 75/11, and a short stitch
length. For heavier fabrics, use a heavier
needle, size 90/14, and longer stitches.
