SEWING STITCH PATTERNS

Sewing Attractive Finishes

Note

To achieve the best results when sewing character/decorative stitches, check the table below for the proper fabric/ needle/thread combinations.

Other factors, such as the type or thickness of the fabric being sewn or the type of stabilizer material used, also affect the stitching. Therefore, be sure to sew a few trial stitches before sewing your project.

Since shrinkage or bunched stitches may result when satin stitches are sewn, be sure to affix stabilizer material to the fabric.

While sewing, guide the fabric with your hands so that it will be fed straight.

Fabric

When sewing on stretch fabrics, lightweight fabrics, or fabrics with coarse weaves, attach stabilizer on the wrong side

 

of the fabric. If you do not wish to do so, place the fabric on a thin paper such as tracing paper.

bAttach presser foot “N”.

cPlace the fabric under the presser foot, pull the upper thread under the presser foot and to the side, and then lower the presser foot lever.

dPress the “Reverse/Reinforcement Stitch” button to sew reinforcement stitches, and then press the “Start/Stop” button to start sewing.

CAUTION

When sewing 7 mm satin stitch patterns and the stitches are bunched, lengthen the stitch length. If you continue sewing when the stitches are bunched, the needle may bend or break (see “Adjusting the Stitch Length” on page 44).

Memo

If the fabric is pulled or pushed during sewing, the pattern may not be sewn correctly. In addition, depending on the pattern, there may be movement to the left and right as well as to the front and back. Therefore, guide the fabric with your hands so that it will be fed straight.
