MULTI-STITCH ZIGZAG
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot(J)
:Thread tension control – 4
This is a strong stitch, because as its name implies, it makes
three short stitches where the normal zig-zag makes only one.
For this reason it is highly recommended for overcasting all
types of fabrics.
It is also ideal for bartacks, mending tears, patching, sewing
towelling, patch-work and attaching flat elastic.
NOTE:
Mending a tear or overedging as shown in the
illustration requires manual adjustment of the length
control
SHELL STITCH
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot(J)
:Thread tension control – 4
Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right side
up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the folded
edge, pulling the fabric in to form a shell hem. Trim away excess
fabric close to the stitching line
Helpful Hint: For a pleasing appearance experiment
with different width, length and tension settings.
SEWING ON A BUTTON
SETTINGS :Presser foot - Button fitting foot (O)
:Feed dog control
-
Push the lever in the direction of the arrow to drop the feed
dog and attach button fitting foot (O).
Position your fabric and button under the presser foot. Lower
presser foot. Turn the handwheel to make sure the needle clears
both the left and right openings of the button. Adjust width if required.
Sew 10 stitches across.
When attaching four-hole buttons, first sew the two holes
closest to you. Then, slide the button so that the needle goes
into the two holes toward the rear of the sewing machine, and
then sew them in the same way.
Helpful Hint: To secure the thread, pull both threads to
the backside of the fabric and tie them together.
