GUIDING AND SUPPORTING FABRIC

Most fabrics need only to be guided in front of

the presser foot Some fabrics, however, re­
quire
support while being stitched, as shown.
These fabrics require using the straight stitch

presser foot.

CAUTION: Do not puli the fabric while you are

stitching as this may deflect the needle, caus-
ing it to break,

• For filmy sheers, knits, tricot, etc., apply

gentle tension by holding seam in front and

back of the presser foot.

♦ For stretch fabrics, apply firm tension front

and back when stitching in the same direc­

tion as the stretch. For seams not on the
stretch direction, stitch in the conventional

manner, guiding fabric in front of the presser

foot.
