garments.
Sew in the same way as that for straight stitch sewing.
Basting (Manual/Quilting)

When basting is selected, the feed dog lowers 
automatically.

PD-H.

Easing a sleeve top
Pull both of the threads about 10 cm (4˝).
Sew a pair of lines, 3 mm (1/8˝) apart, along the edge of 
the sleeve top. 
Pull the bobbin threads to contract the sleeve top 
carefully, matching it with the armhole size.
Make sure not to make gathers in the sleeve top.
