Sewing thin fabrics

When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may become misaligned or the fabric may not feed correctly. If this occurs, place thin paper or stabilizer material under the fabric and sew it together with the fabric. When you have finished sewing, tear off any excess paper.

First, baste the pieces of fabric together, and then sew without stretching the fabric.

Using a free-arm style

Free-arm sewing is convenient for sewing tubular and hard-to-reach areas.

To change your machine to the free-arm style, lift the bottom of the flat bed attachment toward you, and then pull the flat bed attachment out to remove it.
