Pin Placement When Seam Guide is Used Pins Nip into Fabric at the Stitching Line High Position Pin Placement When Seam Guide is Not Used sewing a seam PIN BASTING Pin basting is a time saver and can be used when you sew easy-to-handle fabric. Use fine pins and place them so that: . They are at right angles to the presser foot and just nip into the fabric at the stitching line. • They do not extend under both sides of the presser foot. Never place pins on the underside of the fabric in contact with the feed. • Sew, pulling pins out of fabric as you stitch. We do not recommend sewing over pins. For information on speed basting by machine, turn to page 28. Normal Up Position Presser-foot Lifter 0 High Position Up Position PLACING FABRIC Most fabric can be placed under the presser foot by raising the presser-foot lifter to its up position. When placing bulky fabrics, such as coating, knit or terry cloth, or several fabric layers, raise the presser-foot lifter to its high position and make sure needle is at its highest point. Hold lifter in position (since it does not lock) while placing fabric under the presser foot. Make sure the lifter is all the way down before starting to sew. Presser-foot Lifter Settings 16
