Place the fabric under the presser foot.
• If the seam allowance is positioned on the
right side, sewing in a straight line is easier
and the extra fabric does not get in the way.
●
After adjusting the stitch width, slowly turn
the handwheel toward you and check that the
needle does not touch the presser foot. If the
needle hits the presser foot, the needle may
bend or break.
●
If the stitches become bunched together,
increase the stitch length. Continuing to sew
with the stitches bunched together may result
in the needle bending or breaking.
