10.17. Sewing with the free arm
The free arm enables you to sew tube-shaped pieces more easily. This func-
tion is very useful when sewing sleeves and trouser legs, for example.
You can easily turn your sewing machine into a free-arm machine by re-
moving the extension table and accessories box () from the sewing ma-
chine.
The free arm is particularly useful for the following work:
• Repairing elbows and knees in garments.
• Sewing sleeves, especially in smaller garments
• Appliqué, embroidery or hemming edges, cuffs or trouser legs.
• Sewing elasticated waistbands on skirts or trousers.
