■
Sewing stretch fabrics
First, baste the pieces of fabric together, and then sew
without stretching the fabric. If the stitching is misaligned,
place non-woven water-soluble stabilizer under the fabric
and sew them together.
For best results when sewing on knit fabrics use the stretch
stitches. Also be sure to use a needle for knits (Ball point
needle (gold colored)). The recommended stitches and
their stitch numbers are indicated below.
■
Sewing leathers or vinyl fabrics
When sewing fabrics that may stick to the presser foot,
such as leather or vinyl fabrics, replace the presser foot
with the walking foot* or non stick foot*.
*
Items sold separately with some models, please contact
your authorized Brother dealer.
If the leather or vinyl fabric sticks to the flat bed
attachment, sew with copy paper or tracing paper placed
on top of the flat bed attachment so the fabric moves
smoothly.
If the paper is positioned so that it does not cover the
needle plate, the paper will not be sewn together with the
fabric.

Sewing hook-and-loop fastener tape
Make sure that the needle passes through the hook-and-
loop fastener tape by turning the handwheel and lower the
needle into the hook-and-loop fastener tape before
sewing. And then, sew the edge of the hook-and-loop
fastener tape at a slow speed.
If the needle does not pass through the hook-and-loop
fastener tape, replace the needle with the needle size for
thicker fabrics. For details, refer to “Fabric/Thread/Needle
Combinations” on page 28.
