Sewing thin fabrics

When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may become 
misaligned or the fabric may not feed correctly. If 
this occurs, place thin paper or stabilizer material 
under the fabric and sew it together with the fabric. 
When you have finished sewing, tear off any excess 
paper.

To sew an even seam, start sewing so that the seam 
allowance is to the right of the presser foot, and the 
edge of the fabric is aligned with either the right edge 
of the presser foot or a marking on the needle plate.

Aligning the fabric with the presser foot

Sew while keeping the right edge of the presser 
foot a fixed distance from the edge of the fabric.
