Zigzag Couching
You can easily sew decorative effects using yarn.
■ Prepare for Zigzag Couching
a
Attach the spool stand to the machine.
At this time, do not raise the telescopic thread guide
shaft.
* Refer to “Assembling the Spool Stand” on page 25.
• If the side pedal of the multi-function foot
controller (sold separately) is set to “Single
Stitch”, basting can be sewn by using the
side pedal to sew each single stitch. For
details on specifying settings for the multi-
function foot controller, refer to “Specifying
the Multi-Function Foot Controller (Sold
Separately)” on page 34.
• The green light on the right of the
“Reinforcement Stitch” button lights up
while reinforcement or reverse stitching.
• The sewing speed is limited up to 100 spm.
• When using yarn, we recommend selecting
yarn of weight 4 (MEDIUM ). Medium
yarn is often referred to as worsted weight, 20
knitted stitches per 10cm, or 9-11 wraps per
inch. The diameter of the yarn is
approximately 2-3 mm (1/12-1/8 inch). If the
yarn is extremely thin or thick, has an unusual
shape (flat or furry), or more than 2 yarns, the
best finishing results may not be achieved, or
injuries or damage may result.
• Sew test stitches on the fabric before
sewing on your project.
• We recommend using a stabilizer material
when sewing stretch fabrics, lightweight
fabrics, fabrics with a coarse weave, or
fabrics which are prone to fabric shrinkage.
