Thick fabric sewing (Particularly Denim) When sewing thick fabric or the thick part of the fabric as shown in (fig B), it is important to sew slowly and use the proper needle size (refer page 63). Especially, at the points that the thickness changes (fig B-1), sew slowly by rotating the handwheel by hand. Be sure that the declutch knob in the handwheel is into the ( ) direction. Looking zigzag stitches require less upper tension than straight stitching. Stretch Stitching The following stitches shown (fig B) can be used with stretch and knit fabrics. Be sure that the declutch knob in the handwheel is into the ( ) direction. For neater finish, it is preferable to pin and press the hem before sewing. Sew on the fold, so that straight stitches are made on the hem edge, and the zigzag just catches only one or two threads of fold. The Piping / Zipper Foot can be used to set in a zip and can also be used when producing and attaching piping. Changing the Foot NOTE: Switch off the power to the sewing machine before changing a presser foot. The sewing machine needle is a sharp object and could cause injury; take care when changing the presser feet. It would be a good idea to remove the needle, while changing feet, as a safety precaution. Raise the needle to its highest position by rotating the handwheel towards you. Use the needle plate screwdriver to loosen the screw of the presser foot holder and remove the foot holder from the needle bar. Position the piping / zipper foot on to the needle bar from back to front. Loosen the adjusting screw and move the toe to the left or right of the needle, as desired. When you have finished using the piping / zipper foot; 1) Switch off the power to the sewing machine. 5) Position the presser foot holder and tighten the presser foot screw. [. . . ] If the stitches of the left side of the buttonhole (reverse stitches) are too close together, turn the adjuster counterclockwise. Your machine requires cleaning and oiling for good sewing performance. A machine which is used for a few hours a day needs to be cleaned and oiled once a month. If your machine skips stitches or loops stitches, it may require tension adjustment. [. . . ]
