Sewing a curve with a zigzag stitch

Select a short stitch length in order to obtain a fine stitch and sew slowly while keeping the seam parallel with the fabric edge as you guide the fabric around the curve.

Note

For sharp corners, temporarily stop sewing while keeping the needle in the material, raise the presser foot lever, and then carefully turn the fabric while keeping the fabric edge aligned with the side of the presser foot. Lower the presser foot lever and continue sewing.

Sewing thick fabric

1.Raise the presser foot lever, and then raise it even higher so thicker fabrics can be placed under the presser foot.

2.If the fabric does not feed at the beginning of sewing, place a piece of folded fabric or cardboard under the back of the presser foot to raise it.
