SEWING CHARACTERS
(for models equipped with character stitches)
55 characters can be sewn by following the procedure below.
Sewing beautiful patterns
In order to sew the patterns correctly, the following
must be considered.
■ Fabric
Before sewing stretch or thin fabrics or fabrics
with a coarse weave, affix stabilizer material to
the wrong side of the fabric or place a thin sheet
of paper, such as tracing paper, under the fabric.
Since material puckering or bunched stitches may
occur when satin stitches are sewn, be sure to
affix stabilizer material to the fabric.
■ Needles and threads
When sewing thin, mediumweight or stretch
fabrics, use the ball point needle. When sewing
thick fabrics, use a 90/14 home sewing machine
needle. In addition, #50 to #60 thread should be
used.
■ Trial sewing
Depending on the type and thickness of the fabric
being sewn and whether or not stabilizer material
is used, the desired result may not be achieved.
Be sure to sew a trial piece of fabric before sewing
your project. In addition, while sewing, be sure to
guide the fabric with your hands in order to
prevent the fabric from slipping.
