fabric handling

PIN BASTING

Pin basting is a time saver and can be used

when you sew easy-to-handle fabrics. Use

fine pins and piace them so that:

• They are at right angles to the presser foot

and just nip into the fabric at the stitching

line.

• They do not extend beyond both sides of the

presser foot. Never place pins on the under

side of the fabric in contact with the feed.

• Sew, pulling pins out of fabric as you stitch.

We do not recommend sewing over pins.

SPEED BASTING

The basting stitch produces temporary long

stitches in a variety of lengths. This allows

you to choose the correct length for your sew

ing job, considering the weight of your fabric

and how securely the pieces need to be held

together. A few of the many sewing jobs for

which you will find speed basting particularly

useful are:

• Joining seams for trial fittings

• Basting pleats, hems and seams

• Stitch: speed basting

• Stitch length: programmed or to suit application

or fabric

• General purpose needle plate

• General purpose foot

• Speed range: SLOW

Note: The Even Feed foot cannot be used for

speed basting.

Select needle and thread according to your

fabric. A fine needle and a soft pliable thread

are recommended when basting stitches are

not to be removed before pressing, as in the

case of pleats or hems. Choose a thread color

to contrast with your fabric so that it can be

seen easily.
