Straight Stitch
When the machine is turned on, it is automatically set to
sew a straight stitch in the center needle position.
The straight stitch is used to sew a seam in woven
fabrics. The straight stitch can also be used for
gathering, basting, sewing in a zipper, pintucks, rolled
hems and twin needle hems.
Starting To Sew
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a
seam allowance line on the needle plate. Pull the
threads under the foot towards the back and lower the
presser foot.
Press the foot control or “Start/Stop” key. Gently guide
the fabric along the seam allowance line letting the fabric
feed naturally.
Press the “Start/Stop” key or remove foot from foot
control to stop sewing.
