Utility stitches and practical sewing Needle thread tension In order to achieve a perfectly sewn seam, the needle thread tension must be correctly adjusted. The normal setting for utility stitches is in the range from 4 to 5. Check the tension using a wide zigzag stitch. The thread interlace must be between the two layers of fabric. If the needle thread tension is too tight, the interlace will be on the top side of the fabric. If the needle thread tension is set too loose, the interlace will be on the reverse side of the fabric. F C Topstitching with the edge guide (special accessories) For broad topstitching work we recommend using the edge guide. This accessory guarantees topstitching which is parallel to the edge of the fabric. The edge guide is inserted into hole C and is secured with Àxing screw F. Feed aid for thick seams To ensure precise feeding at the beginning of a thick seam, we recommend placing a piece of fabric which is the same thickness as the work under the back of the sewing foot to support it. 26

Utility stitches and practical sewing
26
Needle thread tension
In order to achieve a perfectly sewn
seam, the needle thread tension must be
correctly adjusted. The normal setting for
utility stitches is in the range from 4 to 5.
Check the tension using a wide zigzag
stitch. The thread interlace must be be-
tween the two layers of fabric.
If the needle thread tension is too tight,
the interlace will be on the top side of the
fabric.
If the needle thread tension is set too
loose, the interlace will be on the reverse
side of the fabric.
Topstitching with the edge guide
(special accessories)
For broad topstitching work we recom-
mend using the edge guide. This ac-
cessory guarantees topstitching which
is parallel to the edge of the fabric. The
edge guide is inserted into hole C and is
secured with
À
xing screw F.
Feed aid for thick seams
To ensure precise feeding at the begin-
ning of a thick seam, we recommend plac-
ing a piece of fabric which is the same
thickness as the work under the back of
the sewing foot to support it.
