I I I I I I j3 j I Straight stitch Program 00 is the basic straight stitch with center needle position. The stitch length can be increased up to 6 mm as required. Some sewing jobs can be done more easily by changing the needle position, e.g. topstitching a collar or sewing in a zipper. With keys 7, 8 and 9 you can select the Creative's 19 needle positions. When doing so make sure that the needle is in the highest position. Programmable seam length for straight stitch Program 00 If you wish to join patchwork parts of equal size, program 00 allows you to program the seam length. Place the fabrics right sides together under the sewing foot. Sew the first seam. When you have sewn the desired seam length, press the reverse key. A tack will be sewn automatically at the beginning and the end of the seam. Now the seam has been programmed and can be sewn with this length as often as you require (see page X for more detailed description>. j I / I I I Basting stitch J J With program 07 you can baste a garment before trying it on. When you press the foot control the machine will only make one stitch. For each further stitch you have to press the foot control each time. • Sew one stitch, then pull the fabric the re quired amount to the rear. • Repeat this as many times as you need to finish the seam. • Lower the bottom feed and disengage the top feed. • Place the fabric under the sewing foot. TIP: To prevent the fabric plies from shifting, in sert dress pins crosswise to the basting position. Light fabrics are easier to baste with long straight stitches (6 mm). In this case the bottom feed must not be lowered! 101
