Page 7

Pull both the bobbin and top thread toward the 

7. 

back of your presser foot. (Figure 20)

Note: 

Try a practice stitch before beginning to sew 

to make sure you’ve threaded the machine 

correctly. 

How to sew

Turn the hand wheel counter-clockwise till the 

1. 

needle is at its highest position. (Figure 21)

Lift the presser foot. Place the fabric beneath 

2. 

the presser foot at exact spot where you want 

to begin sewing. (Figure 22)

Lower the presser foot onto the fabric. (Figure 

3. 

23) Select a stitch pattern. Make sure the 

power switch is ON. Lower the needle into 

the fabric. Press down on the foot control and 

begin sewing. The sewing speed depends on 

the pressure applied to the paddle: the harder 

you press, the faster the needle moves. Guide 

the fabric gently with your hands.

When done, switch the power OFF.

4. 

Turn the hand wheel anti-clockwise till the 

5. 

needle is at its highest position. Lift the 

presser foot. Gently ease the fabric away from 

beneath the presser foot. 

Snip the threads with the thread cutter. (Figure 24)

Note: 

Do not touch the pattern selection knob while the machine is 

running.
