If thick seams are being sewn and the fabric
does not feed at the beginning of stitching
The fabric may not feed when thick seams are
being sewn and the presser foot is not level, as
shown below. In this case, use the presser foot
locking pin (black button on the left side of zigzag
foot “J”) so that the presser foot remains level
while sewing, allowing the fabric to be fed
smoothly.

Sewing thin fabrics
When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may become
misaligned or the fabric may not feed correctly.
If this occurs, place thin paper or stabilizer material
under the fabric and sew it together with the fabric.
When you have finished sewing, tear off any excess
paper.

Sewing stretch fabrics
First, baste the pieces of fabric together, and then
sew without stretching the fabric.
In addition, a better result can be achieved by using
thread for knits or a stretch stitch.

the needle may break or bend.
