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:
• On top of the fabric (never on the
underside in contact with the feed).
• At right angles to the stitching line.
• Just nipping into the fabric at the
stitching line (never extending under
both sides of the presser foot).
STARTING A SEAM
1. Set stitch length dial for desired length.
2. With presser foot up, align fabric
with appropriate seam guideline on
needle plate (as described on the fol
lowing page). Position needle in fa
bric about 1.2 cm from the back ed
ge.
3. Lower presser foot. Backstitch to the
edge of the fabric for reinforcement by
pusfling in the reverse-stitch push
button located in the center of the
stitch length dial. Hold the button
until the stitches reach the edge of the
fabric and then release for forward
stitching.
