Product usage
Cutting threads
To cut the ends of the thread, hold the fabric in your left hand. Bring the thread back from
the back of the machine, then thread the ends of the thread through the thread cutter on the
side of the machine. Pull down until the threads are cut.
Zigzag stitch
The zigzag stitch can be used for finishing seams, appliqués or decorative stitching.
Finishing seams
The edges of the seams support the garment and should have a durable finish, especially if
the fabric is prone to fraying.
Seams can be finished in two different ways: Trimmed after sewing the edge of the seam or
overlocked. Try these techniques on a scrap piece of fabric first to determine which method
is right for your project.
1. Overlocked seam finish
• Set the machine to stitch No. 5 or 6 and attach the satin stitch foot (not supplied).
• Then sew with the right side of the stitch at the edge of the seam. Evenly trim the seam
edges.
2. Decorative stitching
You can add a personal touch or spruce up your projects with decorative threads. Mix different
types and colours of thread to create trim-like finishes on clothing, home décor items, crafts
projects and more.
• Set the machine to stitch No. 7 or No. 8, depending on the style you are looking for.
