Sewing in tape
The standard presser foot is equipped with a tape guide. A tape can
be sewn into the shoulder or side seams of garments made from
knits or stretch fabrics to prevent stretching.
• Turn the handwheel towards you until needles are fully raised.
• Raise the presser foot.
• Lay the tape under the presser foot and slide it carefully into
the tape slot.
• Lower the presser foot and sew a few stitches until the right-
hand needle catches the left-hand edge of the tape.
• Loosen the setscrew (A) and adjust the tape guide to suit the
width of the tape (B).
• Retighten setscrew.
• Raise the tip of the power foot and place work underneath,
Sew.
