For Straight Stitch

The ideal straight stitch will have threads locked between the two layers ot

tabric, as shown above, magnified to show detail.

If you look at the stitch, trent and back, you will notice that there are no gaps,that each stitch is smooth and even.

When adjusting top thread tension, the higher the number, the tighter the topthread.

Starting To Sew


Now that you are familiar with the controls on your machine and with the accessories provided for the machine,

you are ready to start to sew with your new Kenmore sewing machine. Below are some good habits to tolfow eachtime you sit down to sew:

t. Inspect the needle. It should be straight, properly set and sharp on the point. It should be the correct size for

the fabric and thread being used. Do not be afraid to change your needle frequently. Many of the new fabricsmade of synthetic blends tend to dull needles more easily than fabrics made of natural fibers.

2. Before placing the material on the machine, see that the ends of the threads have been drawn about 4 inches

to the rear of the machine. Hold on to threads during the sewing of the first 3 or 4 stitches of the seam.

3. Test the machine stitch on a scrap ot the fabric you plan to use. The fabric should be double thickness.

Adjust the machine for the length of stitch and tension suitable to the fabric.

4. Fabric should be placed under the presser toot with the bulk of the material to the left of the needle and the

right edge of the material placed on the 518"" seam marking on the needle plate when making a simple seam.

5. Run the machine at a s_ow even speed. The more pressure you put on the foot control, the faster the machinewill sew.

6. Fasten each seam by back tacking, sewing a few stitches in reverse.

7. Always finish sewing each seam with the needle at its highest point.

8. Guide the tabrJcgently with your hand in front of the needle. Never pull or hold the fabric in such a way that thenormal feeding is altered.

9. When turning the hand wheel manually, always turn it toward you.

This stitch is the stretch variation

ot the straight stitch, especially

developed for knits and stretch

tabric. Stretch stitching can beused on other fabric as welt. It

works well on curved seams and

on any garments that wilt receivea great deal ot strain (ex: children's

clothes).

The stretch stitch does not

actually stretch as it is being

sewn, but is stitched in a forwardand back motion (sometimes

called a "reverse-action'" stitch),

so that it will give when the tabric

stretches instead ot breaking.This stitch can also be used for

topstitching on ail tabrics.

Place the raw edge of the labrJc to theLEFT of the needle as shown.

Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric

just short ot the outside edge.

Or, place your fabric to allow a 5/8""seam, then trim seam allowance after.

Raw or worn edges ol older garments

can be overcast to prevent turther

raveling.

Buttonhole Making

,D Learning to Sew Buttonholes

With you Kenmore sewing machine you have two methods ol making

buttonholes. You may use the built-in system or you may use the snap-inautomatic buttonhole attachment system.

Choose the buttonhole style

1. Built-in buttonholes (rectangular).Choose this style for waistband, cuffs, belt slots or where you will

need only one or two buttons.

Tips on buttonholing

Always make a practice buttonhole on a scrap o| fabric you plan touse. Try. the buttonhole with the button you will use.

Always use an interfacing in area of garment where buttonholes are

placed.

Tissue paper or regular interfacing can be used. Tear paper away after

stitching, if it is used.

For heavier weight fabrics, loosen your top thread tension slightly.
