Guiding and Supporting Fabric
GUIDING AND SUPPORTING FABRIC
Most fabrics need only to be guided in front
of the presser foot as shown. Some fabrics,
however, require support while being stitched:
•
For filmy sheers, knits, tricots, etc., apply
gentle tension by holding fabric in front and
back of the presser foot.
•
For stretch fabrics, apply firm tension front
and back when stitching in the same direc
tion as the stretch. For seams not on the
stretch
direction,
stitch
in
the
conventional
manner, guiding fabric in front of the presser
foot.
