Turn the handwheel counter clockwise by hand until the needle swings fully to the left. it should just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does not, adjust the guide (B) on the Blindhem Foot (A) so that the needle just pierces the fabric fold and the guide just rests against the fold.

Straight stretch stitch is far stronger than an ordinary straight stitch because it locks three times - forwards, backwards and forwards. it is particularly suitable for reinforcing the seams of sportswear in stretch and non-stretch fabrics , and for curved seams which take a lot of strain. Use this stitch also to top-stitch lapels, collars and cuffs to give a professional finish to your garments. This is a similar stitch used by the garment industry in making sportswear - it forms and finishes the seam in one operation. It's very effective for use in repairing raw or worn edges of garments. The pleasing appearance of this stitch enables it to be used for top-stitching, or attaching lace or inset panels. When manually adjusted to a very narrow width, it also can be used for seaming in areas that will receive stress. The Blanket stitch is traditionally a hand sewn stitch used to put bindings on blankets. [. . . ] Use only attachments recommended by the manufacturer as contained in this manual.
