UTILITY STITCHES ———————————————————————————————————————————

dStart sewing.

CAUTION

●Select a stitch width of 6.0 mm (15/64 inch) or less, otherwise the needle may bend or break.

●After adjusting the stitch width, slowly turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the needle does not touch the presser foot. If the needle hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or break.

Two ways to create drawnwork are described below.
