DART SEAM

1. Attach presser foot “J”, then sew a reverse stitch at the begin-

ning of the dart and sew from the wide end to the narrow end
without stretching the fabric.

1 Basting

Before sewing, touch the automatic reinforcement stitching
key to sew reinforcement stitches automatically at the begin-
ning of the stitch.

2. Do not sew a reinforcement stitch at the end. Cut the thread at

the end leaving an excess 5 cm (2"), and then tie both ends
together.

3. Insert the ends of the thread into the dart using a needle.

Alternate method: When you reach the narrow end of the dart;
stop, lift the presser foot, slide your fabric towards you (19
mm). Touch the stitch length keys, reduce to 0.4 mm. Sew 3
stitches on the seam line. This will secure the thread ends, cut
the thread.

4. Iron the dart to one side so that it is flat.
