Straight stitch
Sewing
Straight stitching is used to join
fabric which does not stretch and for
seams which will not be subjected
to great strain.
When you select straight stitch the
machine will automatically set the
average stitch length.
When topstitching using straight
stitch and reinforced straight stitch,
the needle position can be adjusted
in steps. Use the stitch width button
(+), 0 is the center position, width
6 is left needle position, width 6
mirror imaged
is right needle
position. To return to center posi-
tion, use the stitch width button (-)
and step back to 0. Adjust the width
between 0-6 for additional positions.
To edge stitch, you should take
advantage of the possibility to set
the needle to the left or the right
position.
To sew about 2 mm from the edge,
snap on presser foot A when sewing
light fabrics and presser foot D for
other fabrics.
Place the fabric and sew so that the
edge follows the inside right edge of
the presser foot D or the fi rst mark
of the left edge of the presser foot A.
25 Needle Positions
Experiment until you arrive at the
exact setting for the actual work you
will be doing.
If you wish to sew about 5 mm from
the edge or sew a narrow hem, use
presser foot A and set the needle to
the right position.
