Basting a Seam

Procedure

Thread the machine in the usuai way.

1. Touch

speed basting. When selected

the machine wiil automatically take one

short straight stitch to secure basting start.

2. Adjust to the length of basting stitch

desired — stitches approximately 1 inch

(2.5cm) long are recommended for seam

basting —and proceed. Stitch slowly, sup

porting the fabric in front and back of the

presser foot if stitches are more than 112-

inch (1.3cm) long.

CAUTION: Do not pull the fabric while you

are stitching as this may deflect the needle,

causing it to break.

3. To secure end of basting touch

straight

stitch and take a few short stitches.

Stitch Length

Stitch length control located in the Digital Fine

Tuning section of the stitch selection panel

(see page 29) regulates the length of basting

stitches. Because the interval at which the

needle enters the fabric is changed when you

machine baste, the length of the stitch is no

longer the same as for regular stitching.

Touch 2X when an extra long basting stitch is

desired.

Thread Tension

Speed basting requires a light needle thread

tension. When tension is correctly adjusted,

stitches up to 1 inch (2.5cm) long should lie

flat in firm fabrics. If stitches are longer than 1

inch, place tension on the fabric by holding it

lightly in front and back of the presser foot as

you sew, to prevent pucker.

Refer to page 37 for further information on

needle thread tension.
