•IhIJ %JLII.'..,II I Basting stitch - 10 With stitch 10 you can baste a garment before trying it on. When you press the foot control, the machine will sew one stitch at a time. Press the foot control again for each stitch. • Lower the feed dog and disengage the IDT. • Place the fabric under the presser foot. • Sew one stitch, then move the fabric the required amount to the rear. • Continue to sew one stitch at a time until you finish basting. Tip: Light fabrics are easier to baste with long straight stitches (6 mm). In this case the bottom feed need not be lowered. Use stitch 1, stitch length 6 mm. Topstitching The straight stitch can be sewn in 13 different needle positions allowing you to guide the fabric edge along the presser foot for top stitching. The distance between the rows of topstitching can be determined by the needle positions. You can also space your rows of topstitching by the width of the presser foot. Begin topstitching further from the fabric edge, by using the guide marks on the needle plate, or the edge guide. The guide marks are given in cm and inches. The edge guide is inserted into hole C and is secured with set screw F Feed aid for thick seams To ensure precise feeding at the beginning of a thick seam, place a piece of fabric of the same thickness as the seam under the presser foot to support it. 55
