Check stitch selections on the machine's body, and then select the stitch number. 8 Remove the flat bed attachment to use the free arm. 9 Slide the item that you wish to sew onto the free arm, make sure that the fabric feeds correctly, and then start sewing. 10 Position the fabric with the edge of the folded hem against the presser foot guide, and then lower the presser foot lever. 13 Stop sewing when you are finished, and raise the presser foot and needle to pull the fabric under the presser foot towards the back of the machine. Note • Be sure to pull the fabric towards the back of the machine after sewing. If you pull the fabric toward side or forward, the presser foot may be damaged. 14 Remove the basting stitching and turn the fabric with the right side facing out.

Wrong side of fabric Presser foot guide Fold of hem 11 Adjust the stitch width until the needle slightly catches the fold of the hem. (page 15) Needle drop point When you change the needle drop point, raise the needle, and then change the stitch width. * To make fine adjustments to the needle drop point, adjust the stitch width setting. Memo • Blind hem stitches cannot be sewn if the left needle drop point does not catch the fold. If the needle catches too much of the fold, the fabric cannot be unfolded and the seam appearing on the right side of the fabric will be very large, leaving an unattractive finish. 12 Sew with the fold of the hem against the presser foot guide. 1 Reinforcement stitching * Stitches may differ depending on the model.
