CAUTION
Note
z Before starting to sew, baste the fabric and
hook-and-loop together.
Make sure that the needle passes through the hook-
and-loop fastener by turning the handwheel and
lower the needle into the hook-and-loop fastener
before sewing. And then, sew the edge of the hook-
and-loop fastener at a slow speed.
If the needle does not pass through the hook-and-
loop fastener, replace the needle with the needle for
thick fabrics (page 39).

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.
a Stabilizer material or paper
z If fabric more than 6 mm (15/64 inch)
thick is sewn or if the fabric is pushed
with too much force, the needle may
bend or break.

z Use only the ungummed hook-and-loop
fastener designed for sewing. If the glue
adheres to the needle or the bobbin hook
race, it may cause malfunction.
z If the hook-and-loop fastener is sewn with
a fine needle (65/9-75/11), the needle
may bend or break.
