models only:
Move needle one position to the right. Stitch ½”. Note: On the
1008, avoid bending the needle by moving it up out of the fabric
before changing the needle position; this is not necessary on
computerized models, as the machine will automatically wait until
the needle is in the highest position before moving the needle.
Repeat this until all right needle positions have been stitched.
Note: If your machine has a Pattern Repeat function, activate
Pattern Repeat 1x, stitch until the machine automatically stops,
then adjust the needle position; repeat until all positions are sewn.
