D98, D1S, D2S, D3S, D4S,D95S and D96S can be sewn
with the dual feed device.
The dual feed device is extremely effective for sewing
with hard to feed material such as vinyl or leather. It also
eliminates layer slippage.
NOTE:
See page 14–15 for how to attach the dual feed foot
and to engage the dual feed device.
Sewing
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a
seam guide on the needle plate. Lower the needle at the
point where you wish to start.
Pull the needle thread toward the rear.
Lower the presser foot.
Start sewing at medium speed. Gently guide the fabric
along the seam guide letting the fabric feed naturally.
When seaming plaid fabrics, match the plaids of the
upper and lower layers and pin them together.
Dual Feed Balancing Dial
The dual feed balancing dial should be set at “0”.
However, you may need to adjust the dual feed balance
with this dial since the effect of the dual feed varies
depending on the type of fabric.
Test sew on scrap piece of the fabric you intended to sew
to check the feed balance.
(A): If the lower layer puckers, turn the dual feed
balancing dial toward “+”.
(B): If the upper layer puckers, turn the dual feed
balancing dial toward “–”.

This buttonhole is useful for bulky fabrics or when sewing
on uneven layers.
25 Round end buttonhole
This buttonhole is used on fine to medium weight fabrics
especially for blouses and children’s clothes.
26 Fine fabric buttonhole
This buttonhole is rounded at both ends and is used on
fine, delicate fabrics such as fine silk.
27-29 Keyhole buttonholes
The Keyhole Buttonhole is widely used on medium to
heavy weight fabrics. It is also suitable for larger and
thicker buttons.
30-32 Stretch buttonholes
This buttonhole can be used on stretch fabrics. It can
also be used as a decorative buttonhole.
33 Welted buttonhole
