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.

Sewing stretch fabrics

First, baste the pieces of fabric together, and then 
sew without stretching the fabric.

Using a free-arm style

Free-arm sewing is convenient for sewing tubular 
and hard-to-reach areas. To change your machine to 
the free-arm style, lift out the flat bed attachment.
