Jeans Hem; Button Sewing - Singer HD6620C Manual De Instrucciones

Jeans Hem

When sewing over seams in extra heavy fabric or a jeans hem,
the presser foot may tip as it rides over the seam. To be able to
obtain even feed also over thicker seams, the All-Purpose Foot
(T) is equipped with a "lock in place" button, that locks the
foot in a horizontal position.
As you approach the thicker seam and the presser foot begins
to raise over the thickness, stop sewing. Lower the needle into
the fabric and raise the presser foot. As you lower the presser
foot again, push the button on the presser foot towards the
groove (A) in the presser foot ankle. This will lock the foot in
a horizontal position, allowing the foot to pass the thick parts
without needle breakage. The lock position will release
automatically after a few stitches.

Button Sewing

Fasten buttons easily and quickly with the special button stitch.
1. Select the Button Sewing Stitch.
2. Lower the feed teeth.
3. Remove the presser foot.
4. Mark the placement of the button with a marking pen (A).
5. Place the button on top of the marking and tape in place.
Position your project under the presser foot holder aligning
the holes of the button with the needle. Lower the presser
foot holder (B).
6. Turn the handwheel toward you very slowly to be sure the
needle clears the holes. Adjust the stitch width if needed
(C).
7. Start sewing at a low speed. The machine stops
automatically after a few stitches.
8. Leave a long thread tail and pull it under the button. Wind
the thread tail around the shank.
9. Use a hand sewing needle to pull the thread to the wrong
side of the fabric and secure.
10. To re-engage the feed teeth, move the Feed Teeth Lever
back to regular sewing position, and then turn the hand
wheel toward you one full revolution.
