(2) ORNAMENTAL FLATLOCK STITCH
* To place movable upper cutter in non-working
position (see page
). The fabric should not be
85
trimmed on this stitch.
* Follow steps 1-3 above.
* Fold the fabric piece, wrong sides together, to sew
a decorative stitch from the right side of the
garment (at the fold).
* Position the fabric so the seam is sewn with part
of the stitch extending off the fabric.
* Unfold the fabric and pull on opposite sides of the
stitch to flatten.
Tip: The upper looper thread is the prominent thread
in the flatlock stitch. Place a decorative thread
in the upper looper and regular threads in the
lower looper and needle.
(3) LADDER STITCH
To create a ladder stitch, sew with right sides of the
fabric together. The needle thread will be the
prominent thread that creates the ladder.
27. PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENT
The presser foot pressure for sewing based on
normal conditions should be set to M. Adjustments
in some instances may be necessary. Increase or
decrease the pressure until you are satisfied with
the result. Always test sew on a sample of your
fabric before sewing on your garment. The presser
foot pressure of this machine is pre-adjusted at the
factory to suit the sewing of medium weight fabrics.
* In such case, M for normal, L for the lightest
pressure and H for the heaviest.
* For lightweight fabric...Decrease the pressure.
* For heavyweight fabric...Increase the pressure.
