PIN BASTING
Pin basting is a time saver and can be used
when you sew easy-to-handle fabric. Use fine
pins and place them so that;
• They are at right angles to the presser foot
and just nip into the fabric at the stitching
line.
• They do not extend under both sides of the
presser foot. Never place pins on the under
side of the fabric In contact with the feed.
• Sew, pulling pins out of fabric as you stitch.
We do not recommend sewing over pins.

PLACING FABRIC
Most fabric can be placed under the presser
foot by raising the presser-foot lifter to its up
position. When placing bulky fabrics, such as
coating, knit or terry cloth, or several fabric
layers, raise the presser-foot lifter to its high
position and make sure needle is at its highest
point. Hold lifter in position (since it does not
lock) while placing fabric under the presser
foot. Make sure the lifter is all the way down
before starting to sew.
