SELECTION
OF
PRESSER
FOOT
For
most
ordinary
sewing
the
original
all-purpose
foot
can
be used.
How
ever,
it is
recommended to
use
the
following
special
feet
in
your
accessory
box
whenever
you want
a
better
stitching result.
Straight Stitch
Foot
This
has
only
a narrow hole
to
accom
rnodate
only
straight
stitching,
It
may
be
used on sheer
or soft
fabrics for
more
control.
When
using
this
foot,
the
Stitch
Width
Control
should
be
at
“M”
to avoid
hitting
the
foot
and
breaking the
needle.
Buttonhole
Foot
This
foot
has
a
groove
underneath,
to
allow the
narrow
satin
stitch
or
buttonhole
to form evenly.
However,
if skip
stitches
occur
on
sheer
fabrics
with
this
foot,
it
may be
necessary
to
use
thin
paper
underneath.
Cording
& ZIpper
Foot,
and
Button
Foot
Use
for sewing
very
close
to
tire
edge
of
a cord
or
zipper,
and
sewing
on
buttons
respectively.
CHANGING
PRESSER
FOOT

now
control
how

At

resulting
in
a

is
used

STITCH
PATTERN SELECTOR
STRETCH
STITCH
CONTROL
Selection
between ordinary
stitching
and
triple
automatic reinforced
stitching
called
stretch
stitch
is
made
by
the
stretch
stitch
control.
With
the
control
at
“N”
position,
ordinary
sewing
is
performed.
With
the
control
at
“STRETCH
STITCH”
position,
the
stitch
length
control
is
automatically
set
the
relative
due
position
and
your
machine
automatically performs
the
stretch
stitch
with
the
repetition
of
two
forward
and one
backward
stitch
combination.
A
reinforced
seam
of
stretch stitch
that
will
stretch
considerably
more
than
the fabric used
is
the
most
wanted
feature
in
a sewing
machine
today.
Its
uses
are
almost
unlimited
and the
more
you
use
your
machine
the more
it
will
become
apparent
to
you.
In
addition
to
straight
and
zigzag
stitches
of
both ordinary
forward
and
special
automatic
back
and-forth
(stretch)
sewing,
16
different
kinds
of
utility
and
stretch stitches
as
shown
on
the

of

selection
table
can
be
selected.
The
numbers
marked

shows
the
selected
stitch
patterns
shown
on
the

with
the
corresponding numbers. For
the stitch
patterns
shown
in
the
upper
row
in
white
boxes,
set
the
stretch

control
at “N”
position
for
forward
sewing.
For
those
in
the
lower

in
red

on
the
panel,
set
it
at the
red
dot
position
marked
as
Stretch
Stitch
for
automatic
back-and-forth
(Stretch)
sewing
so
that
the
stitch

the
relative
