SEWING CHARACTERS (for models
equipped with character stitches)
55 characters can be sewn by following the
procedure below.
Sewing beautiful patterns
In order to sew the patterns correctly, the following
must be considered.
■
Fabric
Before sewing stretch or thin fabrics or fabrics with
a coarse weave, affix stabilizer material to the wrong
side of the fabric or place a thin sheet of paper, such as
tracing paper, under the fabric. Since material puckering
or bunched stitches may occur when satin stitches are
sewn, be sure to affix stabilizer material to the fabric.
■
Needles and threads
Whensewingthin,mediumweightorstretchfabrics,
usetheballpointneedle.Whensewingthick
fabrics, use a 90/14 home sewing machine needle.
In addition, #50 to #60 thread should be used.
■
Trial sewing
Depending on the type and thickness of the fabric
being sewn and whether or not stabilizer material is
used, the desired result may not be achieved. Be sure to
sew a trial piece of fabric before sewing your project. In
addition, while sewing, be sure to guide the fabric with
your hands in order to prevent the fabric from slipping.
