Pin Placement
• Insert pins to the left of the presser foot. The pins
will be easy to remove and are away from the cutting
action of the knives.
Caution:
Sewing over pins will damage and/or destroy
the cutting edge of the knives.
Securing the Thread Chain
• Thread a large eye, hand sewing needle (such as
a tapestry needle) with the thread chain.
• Insert the needle into the end of the seam to secure
thread.
Note: To secure a rolled hem thread chain, see
page 35.
• Place the movable upper knife in nonworking
position (page 25).
• Stitch on cut edge of fabric.
• Stop sewing before you reach the corner and fold
the fabric to the left to straighten the corner.
• Continue to sew slowly holding the fabric edge in a
straight line moving the fold as you sew.
