The basting stitch pattern allows you to position and sew
straight stitches to baste fabric together. These long
stitches are easy to remove after the project is complete.
The distance between each stitch is determined by how far
the fabric is physically moved by you.

Set the presser foot pressure dial at “

Attaching the darning/embroidery foot P-2
Loosen the thumbscrew and remove the presser foot
holder. Attach the darning/embroidery foot
P-2 to the
presser bar. The pin located at the top of the foot should
rest on top of the needle clamp screw when the needle is
in the highest position. Tighten the thumbscrew firmly with
the screwdriver.
1 Thumbscrew
2 Pin
3 Needle clamp screw
To sew
Hold both needle and bobbin thread under the foot and to
the back.
Depress the foot control. The machine will take one stitch
and stop automatically.
Release the foot control.
Hold the fabric taut and slide it to where you want the next
stitch.
CAUTION
The knee lifter can be very useful when sewing basting
stitches. The lifter allows you to raise the presser foot
higher and release the tension completely on the thread.
Do not pull the fabric while the needle is forming the stitch.
The fabric may deflect the needle causing it to break.
