Every sewing machine is different so you will want to set it at the longest length stitch that your machine provides.

What are the Instructions for basting stitch?

Please see related link. * http://www.expertvillage.com/video/122946_how-sew-basting-stitches.htmAnswer 2:A basting stitch is the simplest stitch you can make. You push the threaded needle through the layers of fabric, and bring it up about 1/2 inch away. It works best when you keep the stitches as straight and even as you can. Since it is a temporary stitch, it doesn't have to be perfect. The reason for the basting stitch is to hold the pieces together until you finish sewing or working with the project.


Does the Kenmore model 158.13410 sewing machine do straight stitching?

It probably does but I couldn't find an exact match for it on managemylife.com where you can get free copies of most kenmore manuals. I did find a manual for the Kenmore 153.13141 which shows the manual for the 1341 model kenmore. You might want to check and see if this is your machine or close to it. [I have this machine, and yes it does have a straight stitch. You simply set it to the zig zag stitch setting, and then set your stitch width to "0". It will then perform a straight stitch. -mmo)


I have inherited a beautiful Singer 201K and am wondering if it sews zig zag stitch and if anyone can explain how to set it?

The Singer 201 is a straight stitch machine only so it won't do a zigzag stich.


How do you use shearing elastic on cotton material?

Set your tension at the highest level...my machine is 9 and set your stitch length at 4 or the largest stitch length....and shear away If your stitches are not gathering..they should come together after 2 or 3 rows and to make your gathers more together just use your steam iron and it will all shrink up nice.

How do you sew a buttonhole with Brother VX-1010 sewing machine?

If you have the manual, refer to pages 28-31. Making a buttonhole NOTE: 1. It is recommended to practice making a buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before attempting it on your project. 2. Using tailor's chalk to mark the position and length of the buttonhole on the material is also recommended. Step A: Bar Tack 1. Set the stitch length between 0 and 1 (F), stitch width to 5 and the needle position to R. 2. Lower the presser foot over the top right corner of the buttonhole mark and sew 3-6 stitches. 3. Stop the machine when the needle is in the material on the right side of the stitch. (Turn the balance wheel counterclockwise if necessary.) Step B: Right Row 1. Set the stitch width to 2. 2. Sew the predetermined length of the buttonhole to the other end. 3. Stop the machine when the needle is in the material on the right side of the stitch. (Turn the balance wheel counterclockwise if necessary.) Step C: Final Bar Tack 1. Set the stitch width to 5. 2. Sew 3-6 stitches. 4. Stop the machine when the needle is in the material on the left side of the stitch. (Turn the balance wheel counterclockwise if necessary.) Step D: Left Row 1. Lift the presser foot. 2. Turn the material 180 degrees using the needle as an axis and set the stitch width to 0. Lower the presser foot. 3. Turn the balance wheel toward you (counterclockwise) to sew one stitch. This moves the needle from the left to the right. 4. Set the stitch width to 2. 5. Sew until the needle reaches the other bar tack. Stop the machine with the needle in the material on the right of the stitches. Securing the stitching and cutting the buttonhole 1. To secure the stitching, turn the material 90 degrees counterclockwise, set the stitch width to 0, stitch length to 1, and sew 5-6 Straight Stitches. 2. Remove the material from the machine. 3. It is recommended that pins be placed across both bartack ends of the buttonhole as protection against cutting the stitches. 4. Cut an opening in the middle of the buttonhole with a seam ripper tool. Be careful not to cut through any stitches.

How do you center the needle in Kenmore sewing machine 1217?

There is a bracket you can remove on the top of the machine, under the cover. The bracket is used for blind stitching. Once the bracket is removed, just set your machine to blind stitch which will center the sewing needle. The needle will no longer move from center as long as you removed the right bracket. Two screws hold it in.

How does circular knitting machine work?

design changing, GSM setting, quality canrol, servicing, ============================================== http://www.amazon.com/Sew-Easy-07525-Knitting-Machine/dp/B0001RFCI2 You know those little machines they came out in the nineties? They were just little hand cranked machines but they were little circular knitting machines that churned out those tube scarves that were popular a while back. Basically it is a ton of little hooks within two sets of gears, one set holds the yarn the next set takes the yarn and puts it through each little loop, much like knitting, and just makes a stitch when the second set passes it leaves that new stitch on the first stitch, and gear. Just look up on how socks are machined and you can see how it would work. Or just google it, there is a video on a shopping network one. Hope that helps.
