EASY TO SET FOR
ALL STRAIGHT
STITCH I NG
Stitch length is your
key decision
Chances are, you'll use straight stitching most fre-
quently. This is the basic permanent stitch that holds
the garment together. You'll use the Straight Stitch
Presser Foot and Straight Stitch Needteplate, of
course. Machine settings are detailed below.
For permantent seaming, the straight stitch length
is determined by thickness of fabric. The numbers
on the Stitch Length Contro! (31) indicate
approximate stitches per inch. As a general rule, the
heawer the fabric, the longer the stitch; lighter
fabric, shorter stitches, Best stitch for medium-
weight fabrics is the t0-to-t2 setting indicated at
right below,
(See next page for tips on reinforcing and secur-
ing permanent seams.)
