Beginning a Stitch
A
B
1. After loading bobbin into machine place fabric under the presser foot and lower the presser foot
lever. (Fig. A)
2. Check to make sure the thread is still held in place by the thread cutter/holder. If thread was pulled
out of holder upon placing fabric in position then grasp and gently pull thread back into holder.
(Fig. B)
3. Begin sewing at a low speed for the first few stitches by slowly pressing on the foot control.
The Sashiko will sew one stitch on the top of the fabric after pressing the foot control twice when
the needle is set in the down position.
When the needle is set in the up position a space and actual stitch will be made when the foot
control is pressed once.
ATTENTION:
Thread needs to be held in place by the thread cutter/holder at the beginning stitch to
prevent thread from jamming machine.
REMINDER:
Do not sew without fabric under the presser foot once the machine has been threaded
or stitch back over previous stitching.
