PIN BASTING

Pin basting is a time saver and can be used in

place of hand basting when you are straight

stitching seams in easy4o-handie 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.

PLACING FABRIC

Most fabric can be placed under the presser

foot by raising the presser-foot lifter to its
normal up position. When placing bulky fab­
rics, such as coating, knit or terry cloth, or
multiple fabric layers, you will find it conven­
ient to raise the presser-foot lifter to the high-

rise position. 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.
