STARTING

TO

SEW

USING

A

FLEXI-STITCH

PATTERN

When

using

a

Flexi-Stitch

pattern,

the

forward

-

reverse

stitching

direction

is

controlled

by

the

pattern

disc.

For

this

reason,

Flexi-Stitch

pat-

terns

cannot

be

reversed

(back

-tacked).

To

start

sewing

with

a

Flexi-Stitch

pattern,

draw

needle

and

bobbin

threads

under

foot

to

back

of

machine.

Hold

thread

ends

and

posi-

tion

needle

in

fabric

with

a

light

touch

on

the

speed

controller.

Lower

presser

foot

and

hold

thread

ends

at

back

of

foot

as

you

start

to

stitch.

This

will

prevent

the

threads

being

drawn

down

into

the

needle

hole.

The

Flexi-

Stitch

pattern

itself

will

reinforce

the

ends

of

your

seam.

GUIDING

AND

SUPPORTING

FABRIC

Most

stretch

and

knit

fabrics

need

only

to

be

guided

in

front

of

the

presser

foot

when

you

use

one

of

the

stretch

stitches.

Simply

let

the

machine

move

the

fabric

to

make

stitches

that

give

s

-t

-r

-e

-t

-c

-h

to

seams.

Some

fabrics,

however,

require

support

while

being

stitched.

•

For

nylon

tricot

and

similar

synthetic

knits,

apply

gentle

tension by

holding

seam

in

front

and

back

of

the

presser

foot.

CAUTION:

Do

not

pull

the

fabric

while

you

are

stitching

as

this

may

deflect

the

needle,

caus-

ing

it

to

break.

ADJUSTING

PRESSURE

WHEN

SEWING

KNIT

AND

STRETCH

FABRIC

Some

knit

and

stretch

fabrics,

because

of

their

structure,

require

either

more

or

less

than

normal

(NORM)

presser

-bar

pressure

to

feed

smoothly

and

evenly.

•

For

thick,

soft

or

very

stretchy

knits,

de-

crease

pressure

by

turning

dial

from

NORM

(normal)

toward

DARN.

•

For

nylon

tricot,

cire

and

similar

hard

sur-

face

synthetic

knits,

increase

pressure

by

turning

dial

from

NORM

(normal)

toward

MAX

(maximum).

A

NORM

(normal)

pressure

setting

is

usually

best

for

all

types

(and

weights)

of

knit

fabrics

when

the

Even

Feed

is

used.
