Sewing tubular garments (for example, cuffs)
(1)Raise the presser foot, insert the fabric as shown in
the illustration, lower the presser foot, and then begin
sewing.
(2)Finish sewing by overlapping about 4 cm (1-1/2 inch)
of the beginning and end of the stitching.
NOTE:
When sewing tubular garments, overlapping the begin-
ning and end of the stitching by about 4 cm (1-1/2 inch)
will prevent the seam from tearing.
(3)Remove the fabric as explained in “Removing the
fabric from the machine” in “V. Sewing” on page 15.
Sewing a cover stitch
(1)Determine how much of the fabric will be folded up.
(2)Fold up the fabric the desired amount, and then iron it
in place.
(3)Use a ruler to measure, and then use a fabric marker
to mark the top of the fabric to see where the edge of
the folded fabric is positioned.
(4)Place the bottom of the presser foot onto the top of
fabric, and then check that the drawn mark is just
barely to the right of the left needle.
(5)Sew exactly on the mark.
(6)After sewing is finished, refer to “Removing the fabric
from the machine” in “V. Sewing” on page 15 for
details on taking care of the thread.
