How to sew
[1]
When the needle comes to the left hand side,
position the fabric so that the folded edge comes to
the left side of the guide. Lower the presser foot.
*
Adjust the position of the needle swing with the
stitch width key so that the needle just pierces the
folded edge of the fabric when the needle comes to
the left side.
Sew guiding the folded edge along the guide.
[2]
Open the fabric after sewing.
*
For a professional looking hem, try not to let the
needle piece more than 0.2 cm (1/8”) into the fold.
If the folded edge is pierced too far to left side, you
can not expect a good seam on the right side of the
fabric.
•
Changing the needle position
When the zigzag width key is pressed, the pre-set
needle position is shown at 0.6.
* The indication at 0.6 is the needle drop position from
the presser foot guide.
* When you select the stitch pattern 16, the stitch width
will not change, but the needle drop position from the
foot guide will be changed.
