Sewing Various Fabrics Sewing stretch fabrics First, baste the pieces of fabric together, and then sew without stretching the fabric. 1 1 Basting For best results when sewing on knit fabrics use the stretch stitches. Also be sure to use a needle for knits. The recommended stitches and their stitch numbers are indicated below. Stitch Model 4 Model 3,2 Model 1 1-05 05* 05* 1-06 06* 06* 1-13 13 11 1-14 14* 12* 2-13 48 42 * Stitch patterns can be selected directly by pressing the numeric keys on the machine during preset utility stitch mode. Refer to "Basic operations" section. Sewing hook-and-loop fastener tape CAUTION • Use only the adhesive-free hook-and-loop fastener tape which is designed for sewing. When the glue adheres to the needle or the bobbin hook race, it may cause malfunction. • If the hook-and-loop fastener tape is sewn with S the thin needle (65/9-75/11), the needle may bend or break. SEWING ATTRACTIVE FINISHES Note • Before sewing, baste together the fabric and the hook-and-loop fastener tape. Make sure that the needle passes through the hook-and-loop fastener tape by turning the handwheel and lower the needle into the hook-and-loop fastener tape before sewing. And then, sew the edge of the hook-and-loop fastener tape at a slow speed. If the needle does not pass through the hook-and-loop fastener tape, replace the needle with the needle size for thicker fabrics. For details, refer to "Fabric/thread/needle combinations" in the "Basic operations" section. Sewing leathers or vinyl fabrics When sewing fabrics that may stick to the presser foot such as leathers or coated fabrics, change the presser foot to the non stick foot*. The walking foot* is also suitable for sewing some leathers or vinyl fabrics. * Sold separately with some models. 1 Edge of the hook-and-loop fastener tape 1 1 Leather Note • The walking foot can only be used with straight or zigzag stitch patterns with reinforcement stitches. For details, refer to "Stitch Setting Chart" in the "Basic operations" section. • When using the walking foot, test sew on a scrap piece of leather or vinyl that is to be used in project to make sure foot does not leave any marks.
