For better results when sewing stretch fabrics
To achieve better results when sewing your project with stretch fabrics, refer to the following tips.
- To avoid skipped stitches, use ball point needle (golden colored) 90/14 when sewing on stretch fabrics.
- Use thread for knits or a stretch stitch.
- First, baste the pieces of fabric together, and then sew without stretching the fabric.
(1) Basting
- 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.
(2) Stabilizer material or thin paper
- Decrease the pressure of the presser foot. (It is applied to models equipped with the function to adjust the presser foot pressure)
