UTILITY STITCHES XX Once sewing is completed, the machine automatically sews reinforcement stitches, then stops. 7 Raise the needle and the presser foot lever, remove the fabric, and cut the thread. 8 Raise the buttonhole lever to its original position. Memo • If the fabric does not feed, for example, because it is too thick, increase the stitch length. For details, refer to "Selecting a stitch" (page 25).

Otherwise, injuries may occur if the foot controller or (start/ stop button) is accidentally pressed and the machine starts sewing. Fagoting Stitching across an open seam is called "fagoting". It is used on blouses and children's clothing. This stitch is more decorative when thicker thread is used. 1 Use an iron to fold the two pieces of fabric along their seams. 2 Baste the two pieces of fabric, separated by about 4.0 mm (3/16 inch), onto thin paper or a sheet of water-soluble stabilizer. • If you draw a line down the middle of the thin paper or water-soluble stabilizer, sewing is easier. 3 1 2 1 Thin paper or water soluble stabilizer 2 Basting stitching 3 4 mm (3/16 inch) 3 Attach zigzag foot "J".
