USEFUL SEWING TIPS
USEFUL SEWING TIPS
Sewing an Even Seam Allowance
To sew an even seam, start sewing so that the
seam allowance is to the right of the presser
foot, and the edge of the fabric is aligned with
either the right edge of the presser foot or a
marking on the needle plate.
■
Changing the needle position
The needle position used as the baseline is
different for the straight stitch (left needle
position) and the straight stitch (middle
(center) needle position).

Straight stitch (middle (center) needle
position)
When the stitch width of the straight stitch
(left needle position) is set to its standard
setting (0.0
mm), the distance from the
needle position to the right side of the
presser foot is 12 mm (1/2
inch). If the stitch
width is changed (between 0 and 7.0 mm
(1/4
inch)), the needle position will also
change. By changing the stitch width and
sewing with the right side of the presser foot
aligned with the edge of the fabric, a seam
allowance can be sewn with a fixed width.
