Making Seams
•You need to secure or lock your stitches at the beginning and ending of each seam
•Use the reverse stitch lever/button to sew in reverse at the start and end of seams
• If your machine offers it, you can use a Locking Stitch button at the start and end of
seams. This function will tie off your seams for you.
• When sewing, line the fabric up with the needle so that your stitches “catch” when you
start sewing.

• Release lever and sew forward
•Repeat at the end of the seam
Locking Stitch
• Simply press the button at the start and
end of each seam

needle stops moving
