Starting to sew
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next
to a seam guide line on the needle plate (5/8˝ (1.6
cm) is most common). 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.
Finishing sewing
To fasten the ends of a seam, press the reverse
stitch lever 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.
CAUTION:
Do not place fingers near to the presser foot
when guiding fabric, or the needle clamp screw
may strike and injure your fingers.
Changing the Sewing Direction
Stop the machine and turn the handwheel toward
you to bring the needle down into the fabric.
Raise the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle to change
sewing direction as desired. Lower the presser
foot and continue sewing in the new direction.
