Bar tack stitching

Bar tacks are one type of reinforcement stitching

used to strengthen points subject to strain, such as

pocket corners and openings.

As an example, the procedure for sewing bar tacks at

pocket corners is described below.

Determine the desired length of the bar tack.

Set the button guide plate on buttonhole foot

“A” to the desired length. (The distance

between the markings on the presser foot scale

is 5 mm (3/16 inch).)

foot” (page 31).

Pass the upper thread down through the hole

in the presser foot, and then pull it under the

presser foot, as shown.

With the opening of the pocket toward you,

position the fabric so that the needle drops 2

opening, and then lower the presser foot

● When lowering the presser foot, do not
