Useful Sewing Tips

■ Sewing leathers or vinyl fabrics
If the leather or vinyl fabric sticks to the flat bed attachment,
sew with copy paper or tracing paper placed on top of the flat
bed attachment so the fabric moves smoothly.
If the paper is positioned so that it does not cover the needle
plate, the paper will not be sewn together with the fabric.
Optional presser feet for sewing leather or vinyl fabrics may
be used.
1 Copy paper or tracing paper
■ Sewing hook-and-loop fastener tape
Make sure that the needle passes through the hook-and-loop
fastener tape by turning the handwheel and lower the needle
into the hook-and-loop fastener tape before sewing. And then,
sew the edge of the hook-and-loop fastener tape at a slow
speed.
If the needle does not pass through the hook-and-loop
fastener tape, replace the needle with the needle size for
thicker fabrics. For details, refer to “Fabric/Thread/Needle
Combinations” on page 27.
CAUTION
• If the hook-and-loop fastener tape is sewn with
the thin needle (65/9-75/11), the needle may
break and cause injury.
IMPORTANT
• Use only the adhesive-free hook-and-loop
fastener tape which is designed for sewing.
When the glue adheres to the needle or the
bobbin case, it may cause malfunction.
Note
• Before sewing, baste together the fabric and the
hook-and-loop fastener tape.
