TEMPORARY SEWING BY
MACHINE
No longer do you need to baste by hand!
Basting by machine is easy-simply use
straight stitching with longest available
length setting.
PiN BASTING
You can sew over pins easily (if done
correctly) because your presser feet are
hinged. Pins must be inserted at right angles
to seam line. Tip of pin should just touch
seam line. Sew over tip of pins. Pins must not
come in contact with feed dogs: Never pin on
the under-side of the fabric. Sew slowly. If in
doubt about sewing over pins, remove each
pin as you approach it.
STAY- STITCHING
"Stay-stitching" is a form of temporary
seaming that prevents stretching of curved
edges of garments. Usually this is on a single
layer of fabric, so reduce top thread tension
slightly to prevent puckering. Baste about
I/4" away from intended seamline.

ZIPPER APPLICATION - CORDING
REGULAR ZIPPER
The foot is adjustable for use on the right or
left side of needle when sewing regular type
of zipper. Adjust the foot so the needle clears
the side notch on the foot. Carefully follow
directions given on the zipper package.
CORDING
To make cording for slipcovers, etc., cover a
cord with a strip of true bias. Adjust the foot
to the left of the needle.
