5 Sewing Techniques
Seam
Straight stitch
A seam sews two pieces of fabric together with a seam
allowance that will usually be pressed open. In most cases,
edges of the seam allowance are finished with an overcast
stitch before sewing the seam. Seams in stretch fabric must
stretch with the fabric. The stretch stitch makes a stretchy
seam that is suitable for sewing together pieces of light
stretch fabric.
Fabric:
Woven medium, cut in two.
Select:
Woven medium fabric and seam technique. (The
Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a straight
stitch.)
Use:
Presser foot A and size 80 needle as recommended.
Set:
Presser foot pressure to N as recommended.
Sew:
• Place fabric pieces right sides together. Put the fabric in
position under the presser foot. Line up the edge with the
⅝″ (15 mm) seam guide.
• Lower the presser foot.
• Sew a seam. When finished, press the cut function button.
The machine cuts top and bobbin threads.
• Raise the presser foot and remove your project.
Tip: Straight stitch can also be used for topstitching. For a more visible
topstitch, lengthen the stitch and use heavier thread with a larger size
needle.
