require support while being stitched.
For tricot, and other similar synthetic knits,

at the front and back of presser foot as
you sew. Do not pull fabric.
For elasticated fabric, stretch lace, and
knits with an unusual amount of elasticity,
hold the fabric firmly in front and back of
the presser foot to stretch the seam as the
stitches are being placed.
Sewing in reverse
To neaten the end of a seam, push In the
reverse button and backstitch 3-4 stitches.
Raise needle and presser foot and remove
fabric by drawing it to the back and left. Cut
thread on thread cutter on presser bar.
