STRAIGHT STITCHING

Straight stitch is most frequently used for every aspect of sewing. Let’s learn how to sew following the steps below.

1.SETTINGS

Presser foot - General Purpose Foot Thread tension control - AUTO

NOTE: Based upon the weight of the fabric, slight “fine tuning” of the tension may be desired.

A. Thread tension control

B. Reverse stitch switch

C. Presser foot lifter

D. Twin needle mode switch

E. Stitch length control

F. Stitch width control

NOTE: Since a straight stitch has no width, the stitch width control is used to change the needle position.

2.Pull both threads under the presser foot toward the back of the machine, leaving about 6” (15cm) clear.

3.Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the presser foot lifter.

4.Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle enters the fabric.

5.Start the machine. Guide the fabric gently with your hands. When reaching the edge of the material, stop the sewing machine.

NOTE: The Needle Plate has both Metric and Inch Markings as an aid for guiding your fabric when sewing a seam.

6.First turn the handwheel toward you until the needle is at its highest position, then raise the presser foot, draw materials to the rear and cut off excess threads with the thread cutter located on the top of face cover as shown.

NOTE: To secure the stitching and avoid raveling, press the reverse stitch switch and sew a few stitches at the start and end of the seam.

KEEPING SEAMS STRAIGHT

To keep the seam straight, use one of the numbered guide lines on the needle plate. The numbers indicate distance from the needle at its center position.

The guide line on the bobbin cover plate is 1/4" (6mm) seam guide line which is used for piecing quilt blocks and also for narrow seams, such as those in doll clothes or baby garments.
