Sewing Various Fabrics
• Sew trial stitches on fabric that is the same as
that used in your project, referring to “Fabric/
Thread/Needle Combinations” on page 34.
While checking the sewing results, adjust the
thread tension as well as the stitch length and
width according to the number of fabric layers
and stitch that is sewn.
CAUTION
• Do not forcefully push fabrics through the machine. This
may cause the needle to break and cause injury.
• Thicker fabrics require a larger needle.
