Sewing hints

Free arm
To facilitate sewing trouser legs and
sleeve hems use the free arm.

The free arm also allows you to
darn socks (darning foot is an
optional accessory).

"Jeans hem"
The clearance plate is used when
sewing over thick seams.

Sewing One side of the plate is thicker than
the other. Use the side that suits the
thickness of the seam best.

Sewing on belt loops Instruction book Rose
Use presser foot B and lower the
feed teeth. Fold in about 1 cm on
the short ends. Place the belt loop
on the garment and under the
presser foot. Set a wide zigzag stitch.

Sew a bartack from the outer edge
to the center of the loop, move the
material and sew a new bartack.
Continue to sew along the entire
length of the loop's short side.
