3. Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the
presser foot lifter.
4. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle enters the
fabric.
5. Start the machine. Guide the fabric gently with your hands.
When reaching the edge of the material, stop the sewing
machine.

its highest position, then raise the presser foot. Draw the
fabric to the rear and cut off excess thread with the thread
cutter located on the bottom of the face cover, as shown.
KEEPING SEAMS STRAIGHT
To keep the seam straight, use one of the numbered guide
lines on the needle plate. The numbers indicate distance
from the needle at its center position.
The guide line on the bobbin cover plate is 1/4" (6mm) seam
guide line which is used for piecing quilt blocks and also
for narrow seams, such as those in doll clothes or baby
garments.
