Important notes on sewing with the cover
stitch
The power table is marked with various units of
measurement. The upper fi gures are in cm. The
lower fi gures are in inches.
Note: The hemmer guide H2 is available as an
optional accessory. With this optional accessory
you can hem your fabric effortlessly without
having to press under the hem edge prior to
sewing the cover stitch.
Preparing the fabric:
When not using the H2 optional accessory
guide, it is useful to press under the fabric
edge before hemming it. The width of fabric to
be pressed under must be 0.5 cm wider than
the fi nished hem width. Example:
Press under a one inch (2.5 cm) fabric width to
sew a fi nished hem of 3/4 inch (2 cm).
Note: Set the seam width at 3.5 cm.
To start sewing:
Raise the presser foot and place the fabric
under the presser foot so the needles pierce the
fabric for the fi rst stitch. Position the fabric at
the desired width using the marked guideli-
nes on the power table. When starting to sew,
pull the fabric taut towards the rear and sew
slowly. The speed may be increased as you
sew further along the fabric.
Finishing sewing:
1. When sewing to the end of the fabric:
Tightly hold the threads at the end of the seam.
Sew slowly off the fabric while lightly pulling
the threads toward the rear of the machine.
Note: The differential feed may need to be
adjusted slightly to allow your fabric to lie
perfectly smooth. Test your settings fi rst on a
piece of scrap fabric.
