Utility stitches and practical sewing
Straight stitch
Stitch G/E is the basic straight stitch. The stitch
length can be increased up to 6 mm if required.
It is easier to do some sewing jobs by changing
the needle position, e.g. top-stitching a collar
or sewing in a zipper. You can select up to 15
different needle positions (see page 16).
Please ensure that the needle is at its highest
position when adjusting the needle position.
Zigzag stitch
In addition to overlock stitching, zigzag
stitch G, stitch width 5
, is also suitable for
overcasting various materials. In this case,
the material should only be positioned halfway
under the sewing foot.
When overcasting the edge, make sure the
needle goes into the material and over the
edge alternately.
The width for overcasting can be reduced up
to 2 mm.
For overcasting diffi cult materials, blind stitch
foot No. 3 is very useful. When sewing, the
thread lies over pin C, thus preventing curling
of the fabric edge. In this way you can sew
beautiful smooth seams.
The raw edge must be guided along edge
guide B. You can adjust this edge guide with
adjusting screw A.
Important: When the blind stitch foot is used
for overcasting with the zigzag stitch, select
the right needle position. Choose a stitch width
in the range of 3-5 mm (do not use any other
needle position).
