Straight Stitch Sewing

Raise the presser foot and position the fabric

next to a stitching guide line on the needle plate.

Lower the presser foot and smooth the threads

toward the back.

Gently  guide the fabric along the guide  line

letting the fabric feed by itself.

For fastening  the ends of seams,  press the

reverse  lever and sew  several reverse stitches.

Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric,

drawing the threads to the back.

The  threads  are  cut  the proper  length for

starting the next seam.
