GUIDING AND SUPPORTING
THE FABRIC
Most fabrics need only to be guided in
front of the presser foot. Some fabrics,
however, require support while being
stitched. Filmy sheers, panne velvet, and
tricots, for example, need to be held taut
in front and back of the presser foot while
being sewn.
For information on sewing knit and
stretch fabrics with zig-zag stitching,
refer to page 30.
CURVED SEAMS
1. Use a short stitch length for elasticity
and strength. For example, if you
use 12 stitches per inch for straight
seams, select 15 to 20 per inch to
stitch curved seams in the same fabric.
2.
For the greatest accuracy, use the
straight stitch foot and needle plate.
