USEFUL SEWING TIPS
70
c
Release the presser foot locking pin.
The presser foot remains level, enabling the fabric to
be fed.
■
Sewing Lightweight Fabrics
Place thin paper or tear away embroidery stabilizer under
thin fabrics to make sewing easier. Gently tear off the
paper or the stabilizer after sewing.
■
Sewing Stretch Fabrics
First, baste together the pieces of fabric, and then sew
without stretching the fabric.
In addition, a better result can be achieved by using thread
for knits or a stretch stitch.
■
Sewing Leathers or Vinyl Fabrics
When sewing fabrics that may stick to the presser foot,
such as leather or vinyl fabrics, replace the presser foot
with the walking foot*, non stick foot* or roller foot*.
* Items sold separately, please contact your authorized Baby
Lock retailer.
If the leather or vinyl fabric sticks to the flat bed
attachment, sew with copy paper or tracing paper
placed on top of the flat bed attachment so the fabric
moves smoothly.
If the paper is positioned so that it does not cover the
needle plate, the paper will not be sewn together with
the fabric.

Memo
• Once the trouble spot has been passed, the foot
will return to its normal position.

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.
