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.

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.

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.

Thread tension
The tension of the thread will affect the quality of your
stitches. You may need to adjust it when you change
fabric or thread.
Memo
●We recommend that you do a test sample
on scrap of a fabric before you start to sew.

■Correct tension

Correct tension is important as too much or too little
tension will weaken your seams or cause puckers
on your fabric.
