MULTI-STITCH ZIGZAG SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot :Thread tension control - AUTO This is a strong stitch because as its name implies, it makes three short stitches where the normal zig-zag makes only one. For this reason it is recommended for overcasting all types of fabrics. It is also ideal for bartacks, mending tears, patching, and DWWDFKLQJÀDWHODVWLF NOTE: Mending a tear or overedging as shown in illustration requires manual adjustment of the length control. SHELL STITCH SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot :Thread tension control - AUTO Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right side up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the folded edge, pulling the fabric in to form a shell hem. Trim away excess fabric from the backside, close to the stitching line. Helpful Hint: For a pleasing appearance experiment with different width, length and tension settings. SEWING ON A BUTTON SETTINGS :Presser foot - General purpose foot :Darning plate Position your fabric and button under the presser foot. Lower presser foot. Turn the handwheel to make sure needle clears both left and right openings of button. Adjust width if required. Sew 10 stitches. If a button shank is required, place a darning needle on top of the button and sew over top of it as illustrated. Helpful Hint: T o secure thread, pull both threads to the backside of the fabric and tie together. 50
