Practice Basic Stitches

Before making clothing or projects, practice sewing straight lines.

Simple Practice Exercise

Take a scrap piece of fabric and try sewing

• Straight lines
• Curved lines
• Squares
• Zigzag stitches

This helps you learn how to control the fabric and machine speed.

Beginner Tip

Focus on guiding the fabric, not pushing it. The machine will move the fabric for you.

Straight stitches are the easiest and fastest to use, but not advised to use on stretchy fabric as they may break when the fabric is stretched.
