Sewing Various Fabrics
Sewing hook-and-loop fastener tape
CAUTION
• Use only the adhesive-free hook-and-loop
fastener tape which is designed for sewing.
When the glue adheres to the needle or the
bobbin hook race, it may cause malfunction.
• If the hook-and-loop fastener tape is sewn with
the thin needle (65/9-75/11), the needle may
bend or break.
Note
• Before sewing, baste together the fabric and the
hook-and-loop fastener tape.
Make sure that the needle passes through the hook-and-loop
fastener tape by turning the handwheel and lower the needle
into the hook-and-loop fastener tape before sewing. And then,
sew the edge of the hook-and-loop fastener tape at a slow
speed.
If the needle does not pass through the hook-and-loop
fastener tape, replace the needle with the needle size for
thicker fabrics. For details, refer to "Fabric/Thread/Needle
Combinations" in the "Basic operations" section.
