Thread cutter
At the end of a seam, sew a thread chain
of 15 to 20 cm (7”-10”) and pull the thread
chain from back to front over the thread
cutter (47).
This will cut off the thread chain.
Check spring for edging the thread chain
Use the check spring for edging the thread
chain (37) to edge the thread chain at the
start of the seam.
To do this, sew a thread chain at least 10
cm long before you begin the seam. Raise
the presser foot and pull the thread chain
carefully away from the stitch fi nger (32).
Draw the thread chain forwards and secure
it under the spring.
Place the fabric just in front of the
needle(s). If necessary, fi rst cut about 3
cm along the cutting line with a pair of
scissors. Lower the presser foot and start
sewing. The thread chain will be drawn
inside the seam automatically.
Note: This technique cannot
be used for the 5-thread safety
seam, the 4-thread safety
seam, the double chain stitch,
the rolled hem, or for sewing
in the fabric (progs. 01-03,
21-30).
