Sewing thin fabrics

When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may become misaligned or the fabric may not feed correctly. If this occurs, place thin paper or stabilizer material under the fabric and sew it together with the fabric. When you have finished sewing, tear off any excess paper.

Sewing stretch fabrics

First, baste the pieces of fabric together, and then sew without stretching the fabric.

1Basting

Stitching cylindrical pieces

Removing the flat bed attachment makes it easier to sew cylindrical pieces such as cuffs and pant legs, or hard- to-reach areas.

1Slide the flat bed attachment to the left to release it.

XWith the flat bed attachment removed, free-arm sewing is possible.

Note

When you are finished with free-arm sewing, install the flat bed attachment back in its original position.

2Slide the part that you wish to sew onto the arm, and then sew from the top.

Sewing with a twin needle (Option)

We have designed your machine so you can sew with this needle and two top threads. You can use the same color or two different colors of thread for making decorative stitches.

1 Twin needle

2 Extra spool pin

CAUTION

Use only twin needles that have been made for this machine (part code: X57521-021:2.0/75 with a 2 mm width). Other needles could break and damage the machine.

Make sure that the needle does not strike the presser foot.

Do not sew with bent needles. The needle could break and injure you.

Attaching the twin needle

Attach the twin needle in the same way as a single needle (see page 7–8). The flat side of the needle should face toward the back and the rounded side should face toward you.
