TEMPORARY SEWING BY
MACHINEjBASTING)
No longer do you need to baste by hand.
Basting by machine is easy —simply use
straight stitching with longest available
length setting.
PIN BASTING
Sewing over pins is possible as shown
because the presser foot is 'hinged' -and will
'ride' over the pin points. These must be
inserted at right angles to the seam line. They
must always be on the top side of the fabric
NEVER beneath. Sew slowly, and if in doubt,
remove each pin as you approach it.
GATHERING
Set the stitch length at 4 and the top thread
tension at
1
-
2
. Sew one or as many as rows
of parallel stitches as required, but do not
backtack at the beginnings and ends of the
rows.
Remove the fabric and draw up the bobbin
thread to gather the fabric to the required
length or fullness. Re-set top thread tension
control to its normal position.
