Tips
When sewing Sideways Motion stitches
use the slide-on table to increase the
sewing surface.
Make sure that the fabric is fed evenly and
lightly, ensuring that it cannot push against
or catch on anything. It is important to let
the sewing computer sew, without pulling,
pushing or holding back the fabric.
