Sewing tips
■
Trial sewing
Before starting your sewing project, we recommend
sewing trial stitches using thread and scrap fabric that are
the same as those used for your project.
While checking the sewing results, adjust the thread
tension as well as the stitch length and width according to
the number of fabric layers and stitch that is sewn.
■
Changing the sewing direction
a
When the stitching reaches a corner, stop the machine.
Leave the needle lowered (in the fabric). If the needle
remains up when the machine stops sewing, press
(Needle position button) to lower the needle.
b
Raise the presser foot lever, and then turn the fabric.
Turn the fabric using the needle as a pivot.
c
Lower the presser foot lever and continue sewing.
■
Sewing curves
Sew slowly while slightly changing the sewing direction to
sew around the curve. For details on sewing with an even
seam allowance, refer to “Sewing an even seam
allowance” on page 40.
When sewing along a curve while using a zigzag stitch,
select a shorter stitch length in order to obtain a finer
stitch.
Note
• If the bobbin thread was incorrectly threaded, the
upper thread may be too tight. In this case, refer to
“Installing the bobbin” on page 22 and rethread the
bobbin thread.

Useful Sewing Tips
Note
• Other factors, such as fabric thickness, stabilizer
material, etc., also have an effect on the stitch, so
you should always sew a few trial stitches before
beginning your project.
• When sewing satin stitch or 7 mm satin stitch
patterns, there may be shrinking or bunching of
stitches, so be sure to use a stabilizer material.
