Helpful Hint If your sewing appears as shown on drawing, stitches on top side of fabric are good but bottom side tends to look like a towel, it could be that the upper thread is not threaded correctly (especially threading of the upper thread tension regulator may not be correct. Utility stitches are indicated on the pattern chart located inside of the top cover. This foot has a full indentation on the underside to permit easy over closely spaced zigzag stitches, and even feed of the fabric. 15-58 Satin foot To tailor the continuous decorative stitch pattern, you may adjust the length and width of pattern. Experiment with fabric scraps until you get the desired length and width. 0) Overcasting Foot Press fabric against the guide plate of the overcasting foot so that needle falls near the edge of seam. Therefore it is convenient for sewing easy to ravel and stretch fabrics. Overcasting foot should be used for sewing patterns 6, 11, 12, 25 only and do not change the stitch width narrower than 5. It is possible that needle could hit the presser foot and break when sewing other patterns and width. NOTE: You can also cut off the excess material after sewing the inside of fabric. This stitch will sew without stitches showing on right side of fabric. [. . . ] Then lift presser foot slightly and move fabric to permit stitching the other two holes, either independently, or crisscross over the first two holes. Thread Shank Sew-through buttons on coats and jackets should have a thread shank to make them stand away from the fabric. Place a straight pin or sewing machine needle on top of button between the holes, and sew over the pin or needle. Pull thread to back of button and wind around stitches to form a firm shank. [. . . ]
