To change sewing direction, stop the machine. Press the
Needle Stop button to activate the Needle Up / Down position
button. The needle is brought down into the fabric.
Raise the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle to change sewing direction
as desired. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing in the
new direction.
Press and hold the Reverse button and sew a few stitches in reverse when you reach the end of the seam. Release the button and sew
forward again to the end of the seam. This will secure the seam so the stitches don't unravel.
Turn the handwheel toward you to raise the needle to its highest position. Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric, pulling the
threads to the back.
Pull the threads up and into the thread knife so that the threads are cut the proper length and your needle won't come unthreaded when
you start the next seam.
This stitch is stronger than regular straight stitch, due to the
fact that it is a triple and elastic stitch. The Straight Stretch
Stitch can be used for heavy stretch fabrics, for crotch seams
which are subject to considerable strain and for topstitching
heavy fabrics.
Carefully guide the fabric while sewing as the fabric moves
back and forth.
