CONTINUOUS DECORATIVE PATTERN

Use the Satin Foot for continuous decorative stitch patterns.
This foot has a groove on the underside to allow satin stitches (or
other closely spaced stitches) to feed freely under the foot.
No. 38-199
Satin Foot (B)
NOTE: The illustration to the right shows the look of the
stitches when sewn continuously on the fabric.
To customize the continuous decorative stitch pattern, you may
adjust the length and width of pattern. Experiment with fabric
scraps until you achieve the desired length and width.
It is suggested that you use stabilizer on the backside of the
fabric. This can help prevent stitches from puckering the fabric.

APPLIQUE

No. 162, 163, 164
Open Toe Foot
To prevent accidents, do not change the stitch width to
wider than 5.0. Otherwise, needle could hit the presser
foot and break.
1. Set the applique in place on the base fabric with temporary
fabric spray adhesive or by using fusible web.
2. Sew with the right side of the stitch following the right edge
of the applique as closely as possible.
When sewing sharp angles or curves, bring the needle to its
lowest position and raise the presser foot.
With the needle down in the fabric, turn the fabric.
NOTE: Applique can also be done with a satin stitch using
the Satin Foot (page 24). It may be helpful to place a fabric
stabilizer underneath your work, which may help prevent any
fabric puckering.

FREE ARM SEWING

By simply taking off the removable storage compartment,
you can access the free arm, making it easier to stitch hard-
to-reach areas like pant hems, sleeve cuffs and children's
clothing.
NOTE: Refer to page 8 for taking off the removable storage
compartment.
