stitch
Stitch pattern: #4 (mode 1)
Thread tension dial: AUTO
G Foot: Overedge foot C
This zigzag variation is very useful in garment construction
and in finishing raw edges of any sewing project.
[] The black ridge and the guide wires on the overedge
foot keep the edge neat and the fabric straight.
[] Place your fabric so that the double guide wires come to
the edge. The machine will stitch over these wires. The
black ridge will keep the loose threads in so that the
needle can stitch over them.
[] As you sew, be sure your fabric edge pushes up against
the black ridge.
Note: Stitch width should be set between 5.0 to 7.0.
The blue tip needle is recommended for stretch
materials,
