It is easier to do some sewing jobs by changing the needle position, e. g. If you wish to make a topstitch farther from the fabric edge, simply guide the fabric along the guide marks on the needle plate or use the edge guide. The edge guide is inserted into hole (A) and is secured with xing screw (B). Note: Ensure that the needle is at its highest position when adjusting the needle position. Note: To ensure a consistent feed when beginning sewing at a thick seam, we recommend supporting the presser foot on a piece of fabric of the same thickness as the workpiece. Attach the quilting guide Loosen the screw on the back of the foot holder. Insert the quilting guide into the opening and set the quilting guide at the desired seam spacing then tighten the screw. Sew, tracing the previous row of stitching with the quilting guide. 2:8 Utility stitches and practical sewing stitch B/C 0/5 stretch 2-5 A stitch D 1-5 0. 5-3 2-5 B/C Stretch triple straight stitch This stitch is used for sewing all seams where great strength is needed, e. g. The stitch is sewn with two stitches forward and one stitch backward, forming a seam that does not rip easily. Also use it when constructing items such as backpacks for extra strength. Carefully guide the fabric while sewing as the fabric moves back and forth. Zigzag stitch Simple zigzag stitching is widely used for overcasting, sewing on buttons etc. Note: Use a stabilizer for stretch fabrics such as tricot and knits to prevent puckering. Overcasting In addition to overlock stitching, zigzag stitch D, is also suitable for overcasting various materials. In this case, the material should only be positioned halfway under the sewing foot. When overcasting the edge, make sure the needle goes into the material and over the edge alternately. When sewing with the overcasting foot C, the thread lies over pin (A), guide the edge of the fabric along guide (B).
