ELASTIC STITCH SEWING

Elastic stitches are strong and flexible and will give with the fabric without breaking. Good for easy to ravel and knit fabrics as well as joining durable fabrics such as denims.

General Purpose Foot (A)

We recommend that you use a needle for knit and synthetic fabrics to prevent skipping stitches and thread breakages.

QUILTING

A quilt always consists of three layers of material. The top, middle and bottom.

The top layer is formed by multiple geometrically shaped pieces of materials joined together.

No. 1 Straight stitch (Center Needle Position) No. 8 Hand look Quilting Stitch

Straight Stitch / Patch Quilting Foot

Quilting Bar

CAUTION: To prevent accidents. Do not change the needle position. Otherwise, needle could hit the presser foot and break.

A. Joining the pieces of fabric

Join the pieces of fabric using Pattern No. 1 with a seam allowance of 1/4 inch (6.3 mm)

B. Quilting

Sew three layers of material.

Use quilting bar to sew successive rows. Insert quilting bar into the hole of presser foot holder and set the space as you desire.

C. Hand Look Quilting Stitch (No. 8) Use invisible nylon sewing thread or very lightweight thread that matches the fabric on top. Place thread that contrasts to the color of the fabric on the bobbin.

Set the upper tension to maximum.

When you sew, bobbin thread will pull to the top and give the appearance of a traditional hand quilting stitch.
