Sewing – 39
To change sewing direction, stop the machine. Press
the Needle Stop button to activate the Needle Up /
Down position button. The needle is brought down
into the fabric.
Raise the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle to change sew-
ing direction as desired. Lower the presser foot and
continue sewing in the new direction.
Press and hold the Reverse button and sew a few
stitches in reverse when you reach the end of the
seam. This will secure the seam so the stitches don't
unravel.
Turn the handwheel toward you to raise the needle
to its highest position. Raise the presser foot and
remove the fabric, pulling the threads to the back.
Pull the threads up and into the Thread Cutter so
that the threads are cut the proper length and your
needle won't come unthreaded when you start the
next seam.
Note: Your machine can only sew straight stitch and
zigzag stitch - 1-001 to 1-003, 1-008, and 1-010 to 1-012
in reverse.
The seam/overcast stitch sews the seam and over-
casts the edges all at one time. The seam/overcast
technique is perfect for stitching ribbed neckbands
and cuffs. There are a number of different seam/
overcast stitches in your machine. Overcast fabric
edges to prevent fraying and to help them lay at.
It is easier to overcast before the garment is sewn
together.
