Sewing thick fabric

Sewing a curve with a zigzag stitch

Set the stitch length short in order to obtain a fine stitch. Sew slowly while keeping the seams parallel with the fabric edge as you guide the fabric around the curve.

*For sharp corners, temporarily stop sewing while keeping the needle in the material, then raise the presser foot and carefully turn the fabric while keeping it level with the presser foot. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing.

1.When you raise the presser foot lever further, the presser foot is raised to a higher position to handle thicker fabrics. With the presser foot in the up position, raise the presser foot lever higher to make room for thicker fabrics.

2.If the fabric will not feed at the beginning of sewing, place another piece of fabric with the same thickness at the back of the material.
