CONTROL TOP THREAD TENSION Decrease or increase the tension of the top thread by using this control. [. . . ] To sew down the left side, attach right side of foot to foot holder. PIPING To pipe soft furnishings, cover cord with a bias strip of fabric and pin or tack it to the main piece of fabric. Attach right side of zipper foot to foot holder so that needle passes through the opening on the right side of the foot. The tension is well balanced when these two threads ‘lock’ in the middle of layers of fabric you are sewing. Always refer to it before a new sewing project. And be sure to use the same size and type of thread in the bobbin as in the top thread supply.

Raise the needle bar to its highest position by turning the hand wheel toward you. Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it toward you. Insert the new needle into the needle clamp with the flat side away from you. Tighten the needle clamp screw firmly with the screw driver. Use a backing of tissue paper or interfacing for the sheer materials to avoid puckering. Top side Diritto Oberseite The top thread may appear on the under side depending on the thread, fabric and sewing speed, but the bobbin thread must never appear on the top of the fabric. Do this by turning it under on fine fabrics and overcasting it on medium to heavyweight ones. Then turn the hem up the required depth, press and pin in place. Place the fabric under the foot with the fold of the fabric positioned so that the needle just pierces the fold when the needle swings to the left. When completed, the stitching is almost invisible on the right side of the fabric. - Regular blind stitch for normal fabrics - Elastic blind stitch for soft, stretchable fabrics PUNTO INVISIBILE 1. SEAM AND OVERCAST IN ONE Place the right sides of the fabric together and position under the presser foot so that the zig-zag part of the stitch sews just over the raw edge. 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 close to the stitching line.
