Useful Sewing Tips ■ Sewing leathers or vinyl fabrics If the leather or vinyl fabric sticks to the flat bed attachment, sew with copy paper or tracing paper placed on top of the flat bed attachment so the fabric moves smoothly. If the paper is positioned so that it does not cover the needle plate, the paper will not be sewn together with the fabric. Optional presser feet for sewing leather or vinyl fabrics may be used. a 1 Copy paper or tracing paper ■ Sewing hook-and-loop fastener tape CAUTION • If the hook-and-loop fastener tape is sewn with the thin needle (65/9-75/11), the needle may break and cause injury. IMPORTANT • 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 case, it may cause malfunction. 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.
