For details, refer to "Selecting stitching" (page 51).

Note

￿When sewing with the wing needle, select a stitch width of 6.0 mm (15/64 inch) or less.

d Start sewing.

CAUTION

When sewing with the wing needle, 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.

Partially removing threads is called "drawnwork". This gives a beautiful result with fabrics that have a loose weave.

Two ways to create drawnwork are described below.

Drawnwork (Example 1)
