Straight Stitching

The Straight Stitch is generally used to join seams or do topstitching. It is

the most basic of the stitches and is the most commonly used. For a

longer stitch or for thicker fabrics, lengthen the stitch using the Stitch

Length Dial.

Machine Set-Up:

Stitch: Straight Stitch

Stitch Width: 0, no width

Stitch Length: 3-4

Presser Foot: Standard Foot

Needle Position: Center

Materials:

(2) 4” x 4” pieces of cotton, right sides together

Procedure:

Place fabrics under the foot, matching the raw

edges with the 5/8” seam guide.

Sew the length of the fabric.

Use the Reverse Lever to reinforce the seam.

Straight Stitch for Topstitching

The Straight Stitch can be sewn “on top” of the fabric so that the stitches

are visible. This is different from using the straight stitch to join a seam

hidden inside the project. A topstitch provides a decorative touch while

holding the seam allowances flat. It is also sturdy and durable.

Machine Set-Up:

Stitch: Straight Stitch

Stitch Width: 0, no width

Stitch Length: 3-4

Presser Foot: Standard Foot

Needle Position: Center

Materials:

(2) 5” x 5” pieces of cotton with batting between the two fabrics,

creating a quilt-type sample

Procedure:

Sew diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.

Use the Reverse Lever to reinforce the seam.

Create Quilted Fabric

Create your own quilted fabric with the Straight Stitch and the Seam/Quilt

Guide. This attachment is great when sewing large projects that cover the

machine’s seam guides.

Machine Set-Up:

Stitch: Straight Stitch

Stitch Width: 0, no width

Stitch Length: 3-4

Presser Foot: Standard Foot

Needle Position: Centered

Materials:

Quilt-type sample that was previously used on the

“Straight Stitch for Topstitching” page

Procedure:

Use the guide to ensure even spacing and

straight lines when large projects cover the machine’s seam guides.

Position fabric approximately 1-2 inches to the right of the previously

sewn straight stitch.

Position the guide so that it rides on the previous row of stitching.

Sew successive rows using the guide.

Change the direction, sew diagonally from the top right corner to the

bottom left corner.

Sew 3 or more rows, using the guide.

*Depending on model, the Seam/Quilt Guide might be optional. Check the instruction

manual.

Speed Basting

Basting is used to temporarily hold fabrics together. Stitch length and

tension are adjusted to create a looser stitch. This stitch can easily be

removed with a seam ripper or simply pulled out.

Machine Set-Up:

Stitch: Straight Stitch

Stitch Width: 0, no width

Stitch Length: 5

Presser Foot: Standard Foot

Tension: Adjust the tension setting to a smaller number

Needle Position: Center

Materials:

(2) 4” x 4” pieces of cotton, right sides together

Procedure:

Place under the foot, matching the raw edges with the 5/8” seam guide.

Sew the length of the fabric.

Use the seam ripper to remove a portion of the basting or simply pull the

bobbin thread to completely remove basting.

Making Piping

Piping adds a beautiful finish to projects such as pillows, sleeve edges,

collars and more. The design of the Zipper Foot allows for the needle to

stitch very closely to the edge of the foot. This is important when inserting

zippers, applying piping or when topstitching close to the fabric’s edge.

Only the Straight Stitch can be used when sewing with the Zipper Foot.

Machine Set-Up:

Stitch: Straight Stitch

Stitch Width: 0, no width

Stitch Length: 3-4

Presser Foot: Zipper Foot

Needle Position: Center

Materials:

5” x 6” home décor fabric

7” piping cord

Procedure:

Fold fabric, wrong sides together.

Place piping inside of the fold.

On the right side of the fabric, sew a straight stitch close to the piping.

Note: The Zipper Foot can be attached right or left, allowing for

the piping to be inserted from either side.

Attaching Purchased Piping

Attach pre-packaged piping to make a bold finish on home decorating

projects, crafts or garments.

Machine Set-up:

Stitch: Straight Stitch

Stitch Width: 0, no width

Stitch Length: 3-4

Presser Foot: Zipper Foot

Needle Position: Center

Materials:

(2) 3” x 6” pieces of home décor fabric

7” pre-packaged piping

Procedure:

Place fabric right sides together.

Place piping between the fabrics, matching the piping’s raw edge with

the fabric’s raw edges.

On the wrong side of the fabric sew a straight stitch close to the piping.

Note: The Zipper Foot can be attached right or left, allowing for

the piping to be inserted from either side.
