Lower the presser foot, then step on the Foot Control or press the Start/Stop Button to begin sewing. Sew 2 to 3 stitches and then backstitch (See Page 23) to reinforce the seam.  Use a stabilizer (see Appendix) on the underside of the fabric if there is gathering or puckering as you sew. Decorative stitching can be used almost anywhere on your project!  It may be helpful to decrease the upper tension by 1 or 2 numbers when sewing decorative stitches. This will help prevent the bobbin thread from possibly showing on the top when sewing denser stitches. 24
