UTILITY STITCHES
82
e
Stitch between the straight stitches and pull out the
threads for the straight stitches.
Fagoting
Stitching across an open seam is called “fagoting”. It is used
on blouses and children's clothing. This stitch is more
decorative when thicker thread is used.
a
Use an iron to fold the two pieces of fabric along their
seams.
b
Baste the two pieces of fabric, separated by about 4
mm (approx. 3/16 inch), onto thin paper or a sheet of
water soluble stabilizer.
If you draw a line down the middle of the thin paper or
water soluble stabilizer, sewing is easier.
c
Select a stitch.
d
Attach zigzag foot “J”.
e
Set the stitch width to 7.0 mm (approx. 1/4 inch).
f
Sew with the center of the presser foot aligned along
the center of the two pieces of fabric.
g
After sewing is finished, remove the paper.
Attaching Tape or Elastic
a
Select a straight stitch and attach presser foot “J”.
b
Set the stitch length to 4.0 mm (approx. 3/16 inch),
and loosen the upper thread tension to 2.0 (page 58).
c
Sew two rows of straight stitches on the right side of
the fabric, then pull the bobbin thread to create the
necessary gather.
d
Place the tape over the gather, and hold it in place with
basting pins.
e
Select a stitch.

• Be sure that neither automatic reinforcement
nor automatic thread cutting is selected.
Memo
• Before sewing the straight stitch, rotate the
handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and pull
up the bobbin thread. Holding the top and bobbin
thread, pull a length of thread out from the rear of
the machine. (Be sure that the presser foot is
raised.)
