Sewing on thick fabric
1. Raising the presser foot lever even further raises the presser
foot to a higher position allowing you to sew on thicker fabrics.
With the presser foot in the up position, raise the presser foot
lever even higher to make room for thicker fabrics.
Sewing a curve with a zigzag stitch
Set the stitch length short in order to obtain a fine stitch. Sew
slowly while keeping the seam parallel to the fabric edge as you
guide the fabric around the curve.
* For sharp corners, temporarily stop sewing with the needle in
the material, then raise the presser foot and carefully turn the
fabric while keeping it level with the presser foot. Lower the
presser foot and continue sewing.
Sewing on thin fabric
Place thin paper or stabilizer material under the fabric before sew-
ing.
* Use a straight stitch foot to eliminate any puckering. Remem-
ber to select the center needle position. Additional adjustment
of stitch length and tension may be necessary.
2. If the fabric will not feed at the beginning of sewing, place
another piece of fabric with the same thickness at the back of
the material.
