Useful Sewing Tips

■
Sewing hook-and-loop fastener tape
Make sure that the needle passes through the hook-and-loop
fastener tape by turning the handwheel and lower the needle
into the hook-and-loop fastener tape before sewing. And then,
sew the edge of the hook-and-loop fastener tape at a slow
speed.
If the needle does not pass through the hook-and-loop
fastener tape, replace the needle with the needle size for
thicker fabrics. For details, refer to “Fabric/Thread/Needle
Combinations” on page 19.
Sewing decorative stitch patterns
CAUTION
• Use only the adhesive-free hook-and-loop
fastener tape which is designed for sewing.
When the glue adheres to the needle or the
bobbin case, it may cause malfunction.
• If the hook-and-loop fastener tape is sewn with
the thin needle (65/9-75/11), the needle may
bend or break.
Note
• Before sewing, baste together the fabric and the hook-
and-loop fastener tape.

Fabric
When sewing on stretch fabrics, lightweight
fabrics, or fabrics with coarse weaves, attach
stabilizer on the wrong side of the fabric. An
alternative would be to place the fabric on thin
paper such as tracing paper.
