■ Sewing
a
Position the fabric (reverse side facing up)
under the presser foot. Lower the needle
3 mm from the edges of the fabric, lower the
presser foot, then sew 2 or 3 stitches.
b
Raise the needle and the presser foot, then
hold the ends of the upper thread and lower
thread to prevent them from being pulled out
of the fabric and pull the fabric out from the
front of the presser foot.
c
Holding both threads, pass them through the
curled part of the presser foot and pull them
toward the back of the presser foot. Wrap the
fabric around the curled part of the presser
foot in the same way. Position the edge of the
fabric just behind the needle and lower the
presser foot.
d
Without allowing the fabric to stick out from
the right side of the presser foot, lightly pull
on the thread while slowly sewing.
e
After sewing 2 to 3 cm of the fabric, release
the thread and guide the fabric from the front
of the presser foot with your left hand. Keep a
uniform amount of fabric wrapped around the
presser foot curl until the seam is completed.
■ Hints
• If too little fabric is wrapped around the curl
and a threefold seam is not being sewn:
Pull the fabric held in your right hand to the left in
order to increase the amount of fabric wrapped in
the presser foot curl. At the same time, carefully
guide the fabric to the right with your left hand.
• If too much fabric is wrapped around the curl
and a wide threefold seam is being sewn:
Pull the fabric held in your right hand to the right in
order to decrease the amount of fabric wrapped in
the presser foot curl. At the same time, carefully
guide the extra fabric to the left with your left hand.
