NOTE:

When using the straight stitch foot, make sure to use the center needle position, otherwise the needle may strike the presser foot and possibly break.

Topstitching emphasizes lines of garments and keeps seams and edges flat and crisp. Accent suits or blouses with one or two rows of topstitching around the outer edges of cuffs, lapels or collars. Lower the presser foot and keep the edge of the fabric next to the right edge of the presser foot.

Evenly guide the fabric along the edge to produce an even row of topstitching 318"(I .0 cm) from the edge.

When using the straight stitch foot, make sure to use the center needle position, otherwise the needle may strike the presser foot and possibly break.

Use the seam guide lines on the needle plate, and the free- arm, to help determine the distance between quilting stitches. The quilter wilt help keep the stitching line straight. [] Loosen the quilter holding screw.

Slide the quilter in the hole to the desired width and tighten the screw.

[] Sew, guiding the quilter over the previous row of stitching.
