Useful skills
Various ways to achieve better results for your sewing projects are described below. Refer to
these tips when sewing your project.
The results depend on types of fabrics and stitches. Please use the same fabric of the project
and do a sewing test in advance.
For the trial sewing, use a piece of fabric and thread that are same as those used for your project
and check the thread tension and stitch length and width.
Since the results differ depending on types of stitching and layers of fabric sewn, perform the trial
sewing under the same conditions that will be used with your project.
v
Sewing curves
Slightly change the sewing direction to sew
around the curve.
When sewing along a curve while using a
zigzag stitch, select a shorter stitch length in
order to obtain a finer stitch.
v
Reverse sewing
Reverse stitching is used to secure the
threads at the beginning and at the end of a
seam.
Press the reverse button and sew 4-5
stitches.
The machine will sew forward when the
button is released.
