PIN BASTING
Pin
basting
is
a
time
saver
and
can
be
used
in
place
of
band
basting
when
you
are
stitching
seams in 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.

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.
