Sewing
Straight stitch
Straight stitching is used to join
fabric which does not stretch and for
seams which will not be subjected to
great strain.
When you select straight stitch the
machine will automatically set the
average stitch length.
You can adjust sitch lenght for your
project.
Example: Increase the stitch length
when basting and when topstitching.
Gathering with straight stitch
Use a slightly longer stitch than normal
straight stitch, 3.5-5.0. Always sew two
gathering threads next to each other.
• Place a single thickness of fabric
under the presser foot and stitch.
• Stitch a second row next to the À rst.
• Pull both bobbin threads to gather
fabric. Be careful not to pull them
out.
Straight stitch can also be used for
topstitching. For a more visible
topstitch, lengthen the stitch and use
heavier thread with larger size needle.
