6 Free-arm sewing
Fabric handling, when sewing tubular and hard to
reach garment areas, is simplified and made easier
when you use the free-arm sewing capability of your
sewing machine.
Sleeves
* Free-arm sewing takes the difficulty out of
topstitching, sleeves, finishing waistbands and trouser
legs rotate smoothly under the needle, around the
arm, allowing you to place your stitching accurately.
Buttons
* Sewing buttons on a cuff or neckband is easy win
free-arm sewing. The sewing arm allows room for
cuffs to slip onto without being stretched out of shape,
and you can also see and handle the
stitching area more easily.
Bar tacks
* Bar tacks reinforce areas of strain and can be
applied to ready-made garments, as well as to those
sewn at home. Use the free-arm surface to avoid
fabric bulk around the needle when you apply bar
tacks to pockets, pleats and waistlines.
