2. Position the pocket as illustrated with the top of the pocket
facing you. Stitch down the pocket following the pattern
instructions. To secure the pocket with bar tacking align the
needle drop point with the corner of the pocket to be
stitched and move the pocket back 2 mm (1/16”) as shown
below.
*
After the presser foot lever has been lowered,
set the presser foot so that there is no gap
behind the section marked with an “A”, otherwise
the size of the stitch will not be correct. To do
this, push the presser foot towards the back of
the machine as shown in the figure.
