I Sewing tips for different materials Woollen fabrics: well balanced stitch length and tension. Batiste: light needle thread tension and medium stitch length. Velvet or silk velour: baste the seam line twice and sew in grain direction with a stitch length of 2.5 to 3 mm. Be careful when pressing velvet! Try out on a piece of waste fabric and do not press on the iron. Twill/jeans: use special needles for jeans fabrics. When sewing over thick intersections it is advis able to cut away seam allowances. Synthetic materials: do not baste such materials as plastic, foil or oilcloth (penetration holes!). Use long stitch lengths (4 to 6 mm) and the dual feed. Pure silk: set needle thread tension a little lower. Needle must be in perfect condition (otherwise fibres are pulled). Use stitch lengths between 2 and 2.5 mm. Knitted or crocheted materials: sew with light needle thread tension and elastic seams. Machine-embroidery silk: to obtain effective motif embroideries set the needle thread tension lighter, i. e. lower than the buttonhole range. 7P3
