SEWING BASICS Sewing thin fabrics When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may become misaligned or the fabric may not feed correctly. If this occurs, place thin paper or stabilizer material under the fabric and sew it together with the fabric. When you have finished sewing, tear off any excess paper. Note ● When you are finished with free-arm sewing, install the flat bed attachment back in its original position. Slide the part that you wish to sew onto 2 the arm, and then sew from the top. 1 1 Stabilizer material or paper Sewing stretch fabrics First, baste the pieces of fabric together, and then sew without stretching the fabric. 1 1 Basting Stitching cylindrical pieces Removing the flat bed attachment makes it easier to sew cylindrical pieces such as cuffs and pant legs, or hardto-reach areas. Slide the flat bed attachment to the left to 1 release it. Thread tension The tension of the thread will affect the quality of your stitches. You may need to adjust it when you change fabric or thread. Memo ● We recommend that you do a test sample on scrap of a fabric before you start to sew. ■ Correct tension Correct tension is important as too much or too little tension will weaken your seams or cause puckers on your fabric. 2 1 3 4 1 Surface of fabric 2 Back of fabric 3 Upper thread 4 Lower thread 1 1 Flat bed attachment X With the flat bed attachment removed, free-arm sewing is possible. 21
