Stopping sewing
1. If you are sewing to the edge of the
project:
Grasp the threads at the end of the
seam and sew slowly off the project.
As you do so, pull the threads gently
backwards.
2. If you are sewing a continuous hem
(around a project):
Sew 4–5 stitches over the previous
stitches. On the last stitch, turn the
hand wheel towards you slowly until
the needles reach their lowest position.
Now turn the hand wheel back until
the needles are in their highest
position. At the same time, loosen the
needle threads slightly with one fi nger.
Starting to sew
Lift up the presser foot and position the
fabric under the presser foot so that the
needles pierce the fabric on the fi rst stitch.
The deco cover threads must be behind the
needles in order to be picked up on the
very fi rst stitch.
The raw edge must be along the two of the
sewing table. Keep the threads moderately
taut and start sewing slowly. As soon as the
fi rst few stitches have been formed, the
deco cover threads can be cut short at the
start of the seam and you can increase the
sewing speed.
Note: Test sew the cover stitch
fi rst, without adding the deco
cover thread. When the stitch
is tested, continue sewing also
with the deco cover thread.
