HEIRLOOM STITCHING
Use these stitches for sewing tablecloths, and for making decorative hems on clothing and decorative
stitching on shirt fronts.
A more attractive finish can be obtained if a wing needle (130/705H) is used. When a wing needle is used
and the stitch width has been set manually, before starting to sew, carefully turn the balance wheel toward
you and check that the needle does not touch the presser foot.

edge of the frayed section.
