Change Sewing Direction
To change sewing direction, stop the machine. Press the
Needle Stop button to activate the Needle Down position. The
needle is brought down into the fabric.
Raise the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle to change sewing direction
as desired. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing in the
new direction.
Finish Sewing
Press and hold the Reverse button and sew a few stitches in reverse when you reach the end of the seam. Release the button and
sew forward again to the end of the seam. This will secure the seam so the stitches don't unravel.
Turn the handwheel toward you to raise the needle to its highest position. Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric, pulling the
threads to the back.
Pull the threads up and into the thread knife so that the threads are cut the proper length and your needle won't come unthreaded
when you start the next seam.
Note: You can also use the Tie-Off button to secure the stitch at the end of the seam. Just before you reach the end of your project,
press the Tie-Off button. The machine sews three stitches and stops automatically.
Straight Stretch Stitch
3.5 2.5 3–5
Set up for Straight Stretch Stitch
This stitch is stronger than regular straight stitch, due to the
fact that it is a triple and elastic stitch. The Straight Stretch
Stitch can be used for heavy stretch fabrics, for crotch seams
which are subject to considerable strain and for topstitching
heavy fabrics.
Carefully guide the fabric while sewing as the fabric moves
back and forth.
