Sewing hems in heavy fabric When sewing over seams in extra heavy fabric or a blue jeans hem, the presser foot can tip as the machine climbs over the seam.

Handlook quilting A quilt usually consists of three layers, two layers of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched between. 1. Baste the completed quilt top to the batting and backing. 2. Thread the needle with an invisible (monofilament) thread. Use contrasting or matching rayon or cotton thread in the bobbin. 3. Snap on the recommended foot shown in the sewing recommendations view. 4. Engage the IDT. 5. When you sew the stitch you should only see your bobbin thread. Increase the needle tension as needed to produce the desired effect. Blindhem stitch The blindhem stitch number 1.1.16 is used to make invisible hems on skirts, trousers and home decorating. Use foot number 3 with IDT. • Finish the edge of the hem. • Fold and press the hem allowance to the wrong side. • Fold the hem back on itself so approximately 3/8" (1 cm) of the finished edge extends beyond the fold. The wrong side of your project should now be facing up. • Place the fabric under the presser foot so that the fold runs along edge guide A. • When the needle swings into the fold it should catch a small amount of fabric. If the stitches are visible on the right side, adjust edge guide A by turning adjusting screw B until the stitch that catches the hem just barely shows. B A Sewing mode 4:15

Sewing hems in heavy fabric
When sewing over seams in extra heavy fabric
or a blue jeans hem, the presser foot can tip as
the machine climbs over the seam. Use the multi
purpose tool to balance the height of the presser
foot as you sew.
One side of the tool is thicker than the other. Use
the side that suits the thickness of the seam best.
Handlook quilting
A quilt usually consists of three layers, two layers
of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched
between.
1.
Baste the completed quilt top to the batting and
backing.
2.
Thread the needle with an invisible
(mono
fi
lament) thread. Use contrasting or
matching rayon or cotton thread in the bobbin.
3.
Snap on the recommended foot shown in the
sewing recommendations view.
4.
Engage the IDT.
5.
When you sew the stitch you should only see
your bobbin thread. Increase the needle tension
as needed to produce the desired effect.
Blindhem stitch
The blindhem stitch number 1.1.16 is used to
make invisible hems on skirts, trousers and home
decorating. Use foot number 3 with IDT.
•
Finish the edge of the hem.
•
Fold and press the hem allowance to the wrong
side.
•
Fold the hem back on itself so approximately
3/8” (1 cm) of the
fi
nished edge extends
beyond the fold. The wrong side of your
project should now be facing up.
•
Place the fabric under the presser foot so that
the fold runs along edge guide A.
•
When the needle swings into the fold it should
catch a small amount of fabric. If the stitches
are visible on the right side, adjust edge guide
A by turning adjusting screw B until the stitch
that catches the hem just barely shows.
