Stitch
Straight stitch: 1
Zigzag stitch: 2 to 12
Starting to sew
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric on the needle plate. Turn the handwheel
and lower the needle to the point where you want to start. Lower the presser foot and
pull the threads toward the back. Depress the foot control. Gently guide the fabric
along a seam guide line letting the fabric feed naturally.
CAUTION: Do not place fingers near the presser foot when guiding fabric, or the
needle clamp screw may strike and injure your fingers.
Finishing sewing
To fasten the ends of a seam, press the reverse stitch control and sew several reverse
stitches. Raise the presser foot. Remove the fabric, draw the threads to the back and
cut them with the thread cutter. The threads are now the proper length to begin
sewing the next seam.
