Presser Foot Types• zigzag foot (Foot A)

Use this foot for both straight and zigzag stitching.

• Straight stitch foot (Foot H)Use this foot for exclusively for straight stitching withcenter needle position.

• Automatic buttonhole foot (Foot R)Use this foot for one step automatic buttonhole sewing.Simply set a button on the guide of this foot and depressthe foot control. You can sew exactly the same length ofbuttonhole as the button.

• Zipper foot (Foot E)This foot can be set to sew on each side of the zipper.The edge of the foot guides the zipper and keeps theseam straight.

• Overedge foot (Foot C)This foot is specially constructed for stitching and/orovercasting seams. The small brush and wire guides helpcontrol the fabric, hold the raw edge in place and keep itfrom puckering, especially when sewing on knit fabrics.

• Satin stitch foot (Foot F)Use this foot for satin stitch and outlining applique.

• Blind hem stitch foot (Foot G)Use this foot for perfect blind hemming and topstitching.The foot has ridges on the bottom to keep the fabric fromslipping and a screw on top to guide the folded edge ofyour hem.

• 1/4"Seam foot (Foot O)This foot is useful for patchwork quilt. The guide on thefoot maintains an exact 1/4" (0.7 cm) seam allowance.

• Embroidery foot (Foot P)This foot is a special attachment for professional-styleembroidery.

• Walking footThis is special attachment for hard-to-feed materials. Thisfoot effectively prevents fabrics from shifting andpuckering. It is great for quilting and matching plaids.

Selecting Needle and FabricFor general sewing, use needle sizes 11 or 14. A fine thread and needle should beused for sewing lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will not be marred. Heavy fabricsrequire a needle large enough to pierce the fabric without fraying the needle thread.In the needle set, there is one each of sizes 11, 14, 16, and 18, and a blue needle.Use the blue needle to eliminate skipped stitches when sewing knits and syntheticfabrics.Special needles should be used on certain fabrics. A denim needle with a sharp tipeffectively pierces dense fabrics such as denim and canvas. For topstitching, aspecial topstitching needle with a larger eye, accommodates heavier weight thread.Leather needles punch small holes in leather and suede, allowing the thread tofollow through the hole.Check your needles frequently for rough or blunt tips. Snags and runs in knits, finesilks and silk-like fabrics are permanent, and are often caused by damagedneedles.Always purchase a good quality thread. It should be strong, smooth and consistentin thickness.

This stitch is often used as a seam finish to prevent fraying.If using a zigzag foot, start overedging with the leftmostneedle position about 1/8" (0.3 cm) from the raw edge of afabric. The right tip of the stitch should just clear the rawfabric. For lightweight fabrics, use the overedge foot. Tosew, line the fabric edge up with the inner side of the brushholder seam guide _.

Note:

When using an overedge foot, make sure to set the stitchwidth at 5 to 7.0, otherwise the needle may hit theoveredge foot.

Use a lightweight fabric (tricot, for example). Fold the fabricin bias and stitch on the fold. Allow the needle to just clearthe folded edge to create a shelled edge.You may need toincrease the needle thread tension slightly.

If you sew rows of shell stitches, space the rows at least5/8" (1.5 cm) apart. You can also sew shell stitches on knitsor soft silky woven fabrics, in any direction.

Stabilizer

To obtain the best quality embroidery, it is important to usestabilizers.

Types of Stabilizer• Tear-away stabilizer

Tear-away stabilizer is made from a fiber that will teareasily. Use tear-away stabilizers for stable woven fabrics.After stitching, tear away the stabilizer so that the smallportion left in the back of the stitching will not affect thewear.

• Iron-on stabilizer

Iron-on stabilizer is an adhesive type stabilizer for knitsand all kinds of unstable fabrics. Fuse it to the wrong sideof the fabrics with an iron.

• Cut-away stabilizerCut-away stabilizer is a non-woven fabric that does nottear. Cut the excess portion after stitching. Use cut-awaystabilizers for knits and all kinds of unstable fabrics.

• Water soluble stabilizerWater soluble stabilizer will dissolve in water. Use this

stabilizer for cutwork or lace embroidery, and also for theright side of looped fabrics such as towel to avoid loopscoming through the embroidery.

• Sticky stabilizerSticky stabilizer is a sticky paper used for securing a smallfabric or work that cannot be secured in the hoop. It isalso used for velvet and other napped fabric that would bepermanently marked by the hoop.

Usage:• The stabilizer should be attached to the wrong side of

fabric.• More than one layer may be required.• For firm fabrics, you may place a thin paper under the

fabric.• Non-adhesive stabilizer should be used when

embroidering fabric which cannot be ironed or forsections which are difficult to iron.

• Cut the stabilizer larger than the embroidery hoop and setit on the hoop so that the entire piece is fastened with thehoop to prevent looseness of the fabric.

Adhesive (iron-on) stabilizerPlace the wrong side of fabric _ and the glossy side of thestabilizer _ together. Fold up a corner of the stabilizerand fuse it with an iron.

Wrong side of fabricStabilizerCorner of the stabilizer

Notes:• Fold up a corner of the stabilizer, to make it easier to

peel off the excess stabilizer after stitching.• Ironing temperatures vary depending on kind of

adhesive type stabilizer.
