Straight stitch Straight stitching is used to join fabric which does not stretch and for seams which will not be subjected to great strain. When you select straight stitch the machine will automatically set the average stitch length. Experiment until you arrive at the exact setting for the actual work you will be doing.

To sew the other side of the zipper, reposition the zipper foot. 1 Lapped zipper 4. Snap on the zipper foot so it is to the right of the needle. Set the needle to the left position. Turn the garment to the right side. It is important that the seam on the right side is sewn straight. Before you begin to sew, mark the seam line.
Reinforced straight stitch The reinforced straight stitch is stronger than ordinary straight stitch, due to the fact that it is a triple and elastic stitch. The reinforced straight stitch can be used for heavy stretch fabrics, for crotch seams which are subject to considerable strain and for topstitching in heavy fabrics. Stretch stitch Sewing The stretch stitch makes a pliable, stretchy seam that is suitable for sewing together pieces of light stretch fabric.

Three-step zigzag Overcasting Three-step zigzag is suitable for overcasting most fabrics. Trim the edges of the fabric before overcasting. Make sure that the needle sews over the edge of the fabric. Place the fabric according to the presser foot (see picture). Sewing Sewing terry cloth Terry cloth is a rather loosely woven fabric in which seams easily break. Sew the garment together with straight stitch.
Flatlock The flatlock , is suitable for sewing overlapped seams and decorative hems. Loosen the presser foot pressure to 2 when sewing stretch fabric. You can produce a decorative hem by folding a single hem to the wrong side and sewing the flatlock from the right side. Trim excess hem to stitching from the wrong side. Sewing To sew an overlapped seam, lap one piece of fabric over the other piece and sew flatlock stitch over the fabric edge on the right side.
Blind hem Snap on presser foot D for blind hem. As a general rule the elastic blind hem is used for knit fabrics and the woven blind hem for woven fabrics. Fold the material as shown. Make sure that the fold line of the fabric rides in the groove under the right side of the presser foot. Practice using a scrap of material and compare with the illustrations. Sewing 1. If the stitch does not catch the folded edge, increase the stitch width (+). 2.
Bridging stitch The bridging stitch is suitable for joining two pieces of fabric with folded edges. Leather and vinyl are joined by butting the edges close to each other using the bridging stitch. Also use to join lace and ribbon. Sew from the wrong side over both lengths of the elastic following marked lines. Gather the shirring by pulling the elastic threads. Seam and overcast Some stitches can be used for seaming and overcasting directly on the edge where a 5 mm (1/4") seam is allowed.
Darning stitch is a perfect stitch for mending and darning. Use presser foot A. 1. Select NORM, sew the first row of stitches as long as you need to cover your tear or worn spot. 2. Touch the reverse button and the machine continues sewing the remaining stitches at the same length and fastens the thread. 3. Touch STOP. Move the fabric so that the needle is right over the last stitch. Repeat as many times as you need to cover the hole. See "Satin taper and darning stitches" page 25.
Decorative stitches These stitches are mainly used as decorative stitches. Examples: You can combine and program different patterns one after another. Stitch 39, 39 , stitch 18 . Sewing You can program stitches and sew the original way and mirrored every other time. Stitch 22, 22 . An effective edging can be produced with these stitches. Sew a bit from the edge and trim close to the stitching. Upper, stitch 35, lower, stitch 36.
Quilting The "hand" look quilting stitch No Sewing 31 , is a perfect stitch for relief stitching. Use presser foot P. 1. Mark the design on the top of the fabric you are going to quilt. 2. Place the fabric you are going to use as quilt backing, wrong side up. 3. Place a layer of batting on wrong side. Finally place the top right side up with the marking. 4. Pin all the pieces together. 5. Use transparent nylon thread as upper thread and a synthetic thread or embroidery thread as bobbin thread. 6.
Pictogram Read about Programming on page 22. Use presser foot B. 1. Program the leaf in an empty memory. 2. Select NORM and reinforced straight stitch . Sewing 3. Sew the stem down to the first pair of leaves. 4. Select REP and sew a leaf from the stem to the top. 5. Select straight stitch, stitch length 1,5. Sew from the top of the leaf and back to the stem. 6. Sew the other leaf in the same way. 7. Select reinforced straight stitch and continue sew the stem down to the flower stem. 8.
Sewing Stitch table 1 Straight stitch see page 39 For all kind of sewing in woven fabrics, 25 different needle positions 2 Reinforced straight stitch see page 42 For seams which are subject to considerable strain, i.e. to reinforce and topstitch sportswear and working clothes.
Stitch table Darn and mend work clothes, jeans, tablecloths and linen towels. 12 Tapered satin stitch see page 48 Automatic tapering for sewing monograms and other decorations 13 Overlock stitch see page 47 Seam and overcast in one step along the edge or trim later. For medium stretch fabrics. 14 Flatlock see page 45 Decorative hems and overlapped seams, belts and bands. 15 Elastic blind hem see page 46 Invisible hems in stretch medium and heavy fabrics.
Sewing hints Free arm To facilitate sewing trouser legs and sleeve hems use the free arm. The free arm also allows you to darn socks (darning foot is an optional accessory). Sewing "Jeans hem" The clearance plate is used when sewing over thick seams. One side of the plate is thicker than the other. Use the side that suits the thickness of the seam best. Sewing on belt loops Use presser foot B and lower the feed teeth. Fold in about 1 cm on the short ends.
Maintenance Changing the light bulb ! Switch off the main switch.he light bulb is placed to the left of the needle. Place the rubber sheath found in the accessory box with its deep hole around the bulb. Do not turn the bulb, just pull it down to remove the bulb. When inserting, place the rubber sheath with its shallow hole around the new bulb, insert the bulb by pushing it up. Use light bulb designed as indicated on the front of the machine.
Fault-finding Fault-finding Always start by checking the needle Always start with a new needle as soon as you discover that a stitch is not what you expected. Test sew on a scrap of the fabric you are sewing. Check that you have chosen the correct needle and see that it is correctly inserted. See page 16. Unattractive stitches The thread tension is not correct. See page14. Make sure that the thread is not catching. Certain thread spools are unsuitable for spooling from the horizontal spool pin.
Fault-finding The stitch is too loose - fabric layers not held together The thread tension is far too loose. Page 14 shows how to adjust the thread tension. Incorrect stitch If the machine does not sew the stitch indicated by the display, it is possible that the electronics have been disturbed in some way, perhaps by a short power cut or electrical disturbance. Shut off the main switch, wait a few seconds and try again. If the fault remains, contact your dealer.
