RE

BASTING

For accomplishing quicker, more even and firmer basting, we suggest you

regulate the machine in the following manner; Set stitch length at No 4

for the longest possible stitch Basting is easily removed by pulling bottom thread

if you prefer to use pins for basting, your KENMORE will sew over the pins Be sure to keep the pins at right angles to the seam and the head of the pin away from the presser foot. Also reduce pressure on presser foot
