GUIDING AND SUPPORTING FABRIC
Most fabrics need only to be guided in front of the presser foot.
Fabrics of unusual texture and weave, filmy sheers, crepes, knits, tricots, etc., require
support while being stitched.
For such fabrics, use the straight stitch throat plate and presser foot, and apply gentle
tension to the seam by holding the fabric in front and in back of the presser foot as
illustrated.
