constructed knits sometimes catch toes of presser foot. To remedy this, short strip of transparent tape around

foot encasing both toes.

avoid tangled threads when working with tits, start seams carefully. Position fabric td lower needle before lowering presser

_t.

It is always a good idea to test thread tension and stitches on a scrap of the fabric being used.

Knits contain more yarn than woven fabrics, so you will need to take greater care to keep your machine clean specially in feed dog and bobbin case area.
