USEFUL SEWING TIPS
1. Stop the sewing machine
when you reach a corner.
2. Lower the needle into the
fabric manually or by pressing
the needle up/down button till
needle is in down position.
3. Raise the presser foot.
4. Use the needle as a pivot and
turn the fabric.
5. Lower the presser foot and
resume sewing.
The black button on the left
side of the All-purpose foot (RA)
will lock the presser foot in a
horizontal position if you push it
in before lowering the presser
foot.
This ensures even feeding at the
beginning of a seam and helps
when sewing multiple layers of
fabric such as sewing over
seams when hemming jeans.
When you reach the point of an
increased thickness, lower the
needle and raise the presser foot.
Press the toe of the presser foot
and push in the black button,
then lower the foot and continue
sewing.
The black button releases auto-
matically after sewing few stitches.
You also can place another piece
of fabric with the same thickness
at the back of the seam.
Or support the presser foot while
feeding by hand and sewing
toward the folded side.
