d)Guiding the material
Guide normal materials only as shown in the illustration. Avoid pulling it, as this can cause the nee- dle to bend or break.
•Very fine materials are drawn in slightly when sewing. To prevent this, simply lay a thin sheet of paper under the material and sew with the paper in place. When you have finished sewing, carefully pull the paper away from the material; the result is a very clean stitch.
With stretch fabrics it may be nec- essary to guide the material towards and away from the sew foot, to pre- vent the fabric from being drawn in.
e)Changing the sewing direction
You have arrived at a certain point, and you now want to continue sewing in a different direction ..
You can do this very easily by stop- ping at the desired point and leaving the needle in the material.
•Raise the sew foot using the foot pedal.
•Turn the material around the needle in the desired direction
•Lower the sew foot.
You can now continue sewing in the usual way in the new direction.
