Important notes on sewing with the cover stitch The power table is marked with various units of measurement. The upper figures are in cm. The lower figures are in inches. Note: The hemmer guide H2 is available as an optional accessory. With this optional accessory you can hem your fabric effortlessly without having to press under the hem edge prior to sewing the cover stitch. Preparing the fabric: When not using the H2 optional accessory guide, it is useful to press under the fabric edge before hemming it. The width of fabric to be pressed under must be 0.5 cm wider than the finished hem width. Example: Press under a one inch (2.5 cm) fabric width to sew a finished hem of 3/4 inch (2 cm). Note: Set the seam width at 3.5 cm. To start sewing: Raise the presser foot and place the fabric under the presser foot so the needles pierce the fabric for the first stitch. Position the fabric at the desired width using the marked guidelines on the power table. When starting to sew, pull the fabric taut towards the rear and sew slowly. The speed may be increased as you sew further along the fabric. Finishing sewing: 1. When sewing to the end of the fabric: Tightly hold the threads at the end of the seam. Sew slowly off the fabric while lightly pulling the threads toward the rear of the machine. Note: The differential feed may need to be adjusted slightly to allow your fabric to lie perfectly smooth. Test your settings first on a piece of scrap fabric. 44

Preparing the fabric:
When not using the H2 optional accessory

To start sewing:
Raise the presser foot and place the fabric
under the presser foot so the needles pierce the
fabric for the
fi
rst stitch. Position the fabric at
the desired width using the marked guideli-
nes on the power table. When starting to sew,
pull the fabric taut towards the rear and sew
slowly. The speed may be increased as you
sew further along the fabric.
Finishing sewing:
1. When sewing to the end of the fabric:
Tightly hold the threads at the end of the seam.
Sew slowly off the fabric while lightly pulling
the threads toward the rear of the machine.
Note:
The differential feed may need to be
adjusted slightly to allow your fabric to lie
perfectly smooth. Test your settings
fi
rst on a
piece of scrap fabric.
