Bar tack and belt loop stitches are found on row one, 26, and 27. First the bar tack.
Now this is a … you can set this to be any size that you want. The first thing you’re
going to do is you’re going to notice on your screen that it will reference the reverse
button to tell it when to turn around. Go ahead and start stitching down. You will determine
how long this bar tack is to be. Touch the reverse button one time to tell it when to
turn around. Now watch where you started because you need to tell it where the beginning is
with the reverse button one more time. Now it’ll come back and tack over those stitches
that it just made, so it kind of like held it in place and now it’s going back over
the top of it. Now it doesn’t know where the end is because this is just a normal foot,
but just touch the reverse button at any time to have it lock it and cut it automatically.
Look how pretty this is. So again, you could have that be an inch long or even longer depending
on what you’re actually securing. That’d be a great thing for where bag handles come
together or any place that you’re repairing that might have had a bar tack that’s pulled
out.
Now another stitch that’s going to be on the machine right next to this one. We can
go to stitch number 27. That is the belt loop stitch. Now it is going to stitch sideways.
Well the stitching isn’t really going anywhere it’s just going to go to the right and to
the left back and forth. I think goes four times here, so we’ll just go ahead and stitch.
You don’t set anything. It just goes in and stitches back and forth four times and
locks and cuts. Look, it just gives you that perfect back and forth stitch. That means
the foot doesn’t have to move and that would really help if you’ve got something really
thick you’ve got underneath the foot. All it has to do is stitch back and forth and
it’s perfectly done for you.
