Tacking (Front and Back)
Reverse feed stitching or back tacking is when the sewing machine makes a few reverse stitches at the beginning and end of the main stitch. This reinforces the stitching, reducing the likelihood of it coming undone from the ends.
You can achieve this in 2 ways;
- By pressing the sewing machine pedal back with your heel (it back tacks automatically)
- By using the reverse feed lever 1. The stitch goes in reverse when pressed down and forward again when released.
