Where to Use Which Stretch Stitch: A Check-Chart

Some Stretchy Suggestions...

1.To keep loosely constructed knits from

catching on the toes of the presser foot, wrap a short strip of transparent tape of

the presser foot encasing both toes.

3.Test the thread tension and stitch on a scrap of the same fabric you will use.

4.Knits contain more yarn (and more lint) than woven fabrics. Check often and clean the bobbin case area.

2.To avoid tangled threads, start seams carefully. Position your fabric and lower

your needle before lowering the presser foot.
