ENGLISH
Blind stitch hemming
Machine setting
Fold up the fabric as illustrated.
Lower the presser foot, then loosen the foot
holder screw to place the hem guide between
the screw and the shank of foot holder. Tighten
the screw making sure the wall of hem guide is
placed in the middle of the toes of the presser
foot.
Raise the presser foot and place the fabric
under the foot so that the soft fold rests against
the wall of hem guide. Lower the foot, then stitch
slowly for better control so that the zigzag
stitches fall on the hem allowance and pierce
the soft fold. While sewing, make sure the soft
fold runs along the wall of hem guide.
Spread the fabric flat with the right side
facing up.
Zipper application
Machine setting
Pin or baste zipper tape to fabric and place it under the foot.
Smooth the threads toward the back and lower the foot. To sew left side of the zipper, guide the edge of
the zipper along the zipper teeth and stitch through garment and zipper tape.
Turn the fabric and sew the other side of the zipper in the same way as you did on the left side of the
zipper.
