Knit stitch
Machine Setting
Pattern: 01 (Mode 3)
Thread tension:3-7
Presser foot: Zigzag foot A
Foot pressure: 3
This stitch is recommended for sewing such fabrics as
synthetic knits and stretch velour as it provides the greatest
amount of elasticity and strength.
Sew along the fabric edge leaving an adequate seam
allowance.
After sewing, trim the seam allowance close to the stitches.
Double overedge stitch
Machine Setting
Pattern: 02 (Mode 3)
Thread tension:3-7
Presser foot: Overedge foot C
Foot pressure: 3
This is an excellent stitch for fabrics that tend to fray
extensively such as linens and gabardines.
Two rows of zigzag stitches are simultaneously sewn over
the edge to insure that fabric will not ravel.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and then
sew.
CAUTION:
When you use the overedge foot C, you must set the
zigzag width at 5.0 or wider to prevent the needle from
hitting the wires on the foot.

Machine Setting
Pattern: 03 (Mode 3)
Thread tension:6-8
Presser foot: Overcasting foot M

This stitch finishes the edges of fabric similar to a
commercial overlocking machine for a professional look.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and then
sew.
Note:
The stitch width of this pattern cannot be changed.
CAUTION:
When you use the overedge foot C or overcasting foot M,
you must set the zigzag width at 5.0 or wider to prevent the
needle from hitting the wires on the foot.
