1 • 2 • 3 '--_" 5 -_ t I III Stitch Width Control (Model 14501, 14502, 14571, 14572 only) The width of all stitches produced on this machine (except the straight stitch) can be made narrower or wider by adjusting the stitch width control.
4. PRACTICE GOOD HABITS -- Before you begin to sew 1. Check the needle: a. Is it inserted properly ? (See page 13) b. Is it the correct size for your fabric ? (See the chart on page 14) c. Is it threaded properly ? (See page 15) d. Is it straight and sharp ? NOTE: Many synthetic fabrics dull your needle quickly.

Overcasting stitch * Choose this stitch to keep seams or fabric from raveling. NOTE: To reinforce seams with overcasting, it is recommended to use the three- step zigzag (see page 33). 1. Stitch so that the point of the zigzag clears the raw edge of the fabric.
Applique To applique a design on a sewing project or garment: 1. Baste the applique to the top of your fabric. 2. Then use satin stitch to attach permanently. You may want to use a contrasting color thread. NOTE: For best results, be sure your satin stitch covers the bottom fabric and the top fabric.
Feed cover Button sewing 1. Attach the feed cover plate (see page 20). 2. Use clear tape to fix the button on your fabric before stitching. . 4. 5. 6. NOTE: When sewing a flat button, place a pin between the holes so your button will be loose enough for easy buttoning.

_1 II Where to Use Which Stretch Stitch: A Check-Chart Some Stretchy Suggestions... 1. To keep loosely constructed knits from catching on the toes of the presser foot, wrap a short strip of transparent tape of the presser foot encasing both toes. 2. To avoid tangled threads, start seams carefully.
Tips on Sewing Different Fabrics The chart below provides many details but you'll also want to remember... * Soft or fine fabrics may require a backing or interfacing of paper, especially where stitches are close together. * When sewing knits use a strong, fine thread together with "Q NEEDLE".
Straight Stretch Stitch * Choose this stitch to strengthen curved seams on all fabrics or to do all straight stitching on knit or synthetic fabrics. 1. Sew as you do with the regular straight stitch. Rick-Rack Stretch Stitch * Choose this stitch for knits and synthetic fabrics whenever you want a zigzag stitch.
III Overcast Stretch Stitch * Choose this stitch to seam and finish the raw edge at the same time. Choose this stitch to repair raw or worn edges of older garments. I. To seam and overcast at the same time, you must have the raw edges of your fabric to the right of your needle.
Overlock Stretch Stitch * Choose this stitch to overcast loosely constructed knits or woven fabrics, because threads lock in the middle to reinforce seams for more durability.
6. LEARNING TO SEW BUTTONHOLES With your Kenmore sewing machine you have two methods of making buttonholes. You may use the built-in system or you may use the snap-in automatic buttonhole attach- ment system.
Manual Method Top thread tension control O, 2 4 .6,8 See page 17. Presser foot I II Stitch selector t h control -5 J 1. a. Carefully mark the buttonhole length on your garment. b. Insert it under the presser foot with the left side of buttonhole under the needle.

Built-in Method Top thread tension control 0-2 4 ,6, B See page 17. Stitch width control 1 .2.3 4 5 *3.5 -- 4.5(Blue range) 1 Stitch selector 0 Presser foot Zigzag foot plus buttonhole guide Stitch le.

I I III I Corded Buttonholes (a variation of the built-in buttonhole) Corded buttonholes are a stronger variation of the regular buttonhole. You need to obtain filler cord (crotchet thread or buttonhole twist). 1. Cut a length of cord about twice the length of the buttonhole guide.
Buttonhole Attachment System For more varied and accurate buttonholes, you will enjoy using the buttonhole attach- ment and templates. Know the parts and read carefully how to set up your machine properly. You will need these items for the buttonhole attachment system.
