Start sewing.

6

For details on starting to sew, refer to "Starting

sewing" on page 22.

Two lines of stitching are sewn parallel to

each other.

Note

● When using the twin needle, the stitches

may become bunched together, depending

on the types of thread and fabric that are

used. If this occurs, increase the stitch

length. For details on adjusting the stitch

length, refer to "Stitch length dial" on

page 11.

CAUTION

●

When changing the sewing direction, be

sure to raise the needle from the fabric,

and then raise the presser foot lever and

turn the fabric. Otherwise the needle

may break or the machine may be

damaged.

The tension of the thread will affect the quality of your

stitches. You may need to adjust it when you change

fabric or thread.

Memo

● We recommend that you do a test sample

on scrap of a fabric before you start to sew.

■ Correct tension

Correct tension is important as too much or too little

tension will weaken your seams or cause puckers

on your fabric.
