USING ATTACHMENTS AND APPLICATIONS

—

Gathering

Loosen the tension of the upper thread so
that the lower thread lies on the underside
of the material.

Sew a single row (or many rows) of
straight stitches.

Pull the lower threads to gather the
material.

Darning

Turn off the machine.
Place the darning plate on the needle
plate.

Either remove both the presser foot and
presser foot holder assembly and then
lower the presser foot lever.

Put the section you want to darn under
the presser foot together with fabric for
reinforcement.

Turn on the machine.

CAUTION

Begin sewing by alternating between
gently drawing the work away from you
and pulling it toward you.

Note

● Sew while holding the fabric stretched in

order to keep the fabric held down.

Repeat this motion until the darn section
is filled with parallel lines of stitching.

Appliqués

You can create an applique by cutting a different piece
of fabric into a shape and using it as a decoration.

Baste the cut design to the fabric.

Carefully sew around the edge of the
design with a zigzag stitch.
