Gathering
In addition to the regular gathering stitch, this section
offers you a special stitch for easing sleeve tops.
Easing a sleeve top (Edging contraction)
Sew a pair of lines, 1/8” (3 mm) apart, along the edge
of the sleeve top. Pull the needle threads to contract
the sleeve top carefully, matching it with the armhole
size.
Make sure not to make gathers in the sleeve top.
Basting
Attach the satin stitch foot F or darning foot P-2.
When the basting is selected, the feed
dog will be automatically lowered.
NOTE:
Refer to page 17 for how to attach the darning foot P-2.
To sew
Hold the fabric taut and depress the foot control.
The machine will take one stitch and stop
automatically.
Slide the fabric back for the next stitch.
