STRAIGHT STITCHING
For straight sewing on fine fabric or very soft material,
it is advisable to use the straight stitch presser foot and
the straight stitch needle plate which are included in
your accessory box. Both have narrow needle slots.
Changing the foot and plate. To change presser foot
(19, Fig. 1) loosen thumb screw and remove zigzag foot.
Replace with hinged straight foot and tighten screw
securely (Fig. 13).
To change needle plate (17, Fig. 1) remove screw and
lift
off with cover plate attached. Hold needle plate
with right hand and cover plate with the left (Fig. 12).
Press the right end of cover plate down gently until two
pins of needle plate slip off grooves in cover plate.
Avoid using too much pressure. When the pins are
released the two plates will separate.
Attach cover plate to straight stitch needle plate by
reversing the above procedure.
Put plates on machine and fasten securely with needle plate fix screws.
