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 selector for desired

number of stitches per inch.

2. With presser foot up, align fabric with

appropriate seam guideline on needle

plate (as described on the following
page). Position needle in fabric about

i inch from the back edge.

3. Lower presser foot. Backstitch to the

edge of the fabric for reinforcement

by pushing in the reverse-stitch push
button located in the center of the

stitch length selector dial. Hold the

button until the stitches reach the edge

of the fabric and then release for

forward stitching.
