Insert the seam guide into the presser foot holder (see
page 7). Set the guide the desired distance from the
needle by sliding it to the right or left. After sewing a row
of stitching, move the fabric to the right, placing the curved
arm of the bar on the previous row of stitches [Fig. 1].

HEMMING JEANS
The size 14 needle, included with the Simplicity sewing
machine, is designed for sewing through multiple layers
of heavy fabric. Use it when hemming jeans to penetrate
the fabric more easily when sewing over the dense side
seam. When you come to the side seam of the pant hem,
place a shim (such as a piece of cardboard the same thick-
ness as the seam) under the foot and against the seam
[Fig. 2]. This levels the foot so the machine can sew
through the extra thickness.

SEWING WITH TWO THREADS
Create a bold look or add extra color to a stitch by
sewing with two threads through the upper threading
path. Use the size 14 needle which has a larger eye to
accommodate two threads.
Place a spool of thread on the left spool pin with the
thread coming off the back. Thread the machine as usual.
Place a second spool of thread on the right spool pin with
the thread coming off the front [Fig. 3]. Thread the machine
along the same path and through the needle eye as for the
first thread. Select a stitch and sew.
