SEWING A SEAM
You can sew seams easily and accurately when you follow the suggestions below.
BASTING
Pin basting and hand basting are easy
ways to make temporary seams before
machine sewing.
• To pin baste, insert pins at stitching
line. NEVER place pins on the under
side of fabric in contact with the feed.
Do not sew over pins; pull them out as
you stitch.
• To hand baste, make long, loose
stitches that can be easily removed.
PLACING FABRIC UNDER PRESSER
FOOT
• To place fabric under presser foot, raise
presser foot lifter (1) to its “up” position
(2), where it locks in place.
• The lifter can be raised and held in the
“extra high” position (3) for bulky fabrics.
STITCHING IN REVERSE
• To reinforce beginnings or ends of
seams, push in reverse lever (1). Machine
will straight stitch in reverse for as long
as you hold the lever in.
• For continuous reverse stitching, push
lever in and slide it to the left to lock.
Unlock reverse lever by sliding it back
to the right and letting it return to its
normal position.
