*NOTE; For most straight stitching, the
straight foot will give your best control, but
you may use the zig-zag foot if you prefer.
Straight stitch is probably the most frequently
used of all stitches. Apart from seaming, its
many uses include tacking, basting, top
stitching, gathering, inserting zips etc. It can
be used with single or twin-needles.
FASTENING A SEAM
Be sure both threads are drawn back under
the presser foot. Lower needle into fabric
about 1 / 2 ” !1 cm) from beginning of seam.
Depress the reverse stitch lever and stitch in
reverse until needle reaches beginning of
seam. Release control and complete seam.
When you reach the end, depress the reverse
stitch lever and sew back (backtack) over
1 / 2 ” (1 cm) of completed seam.
REMOVING FABRIC
First turn the handwheel toward you until the
needle is at its highest position, then raise the
presser foot, draw materials to the rear and
cut off excess thread with the thread cutter
located on the foot release lever as shown.
