Beginning and end of sewing
1. Beginning of sewing
Place your left hand on the fabric to push it
slightly until the edge of the fabric passes the
presser foot.
2. End of sewing
Make chain stitches at the end of the sewing
to prevent the threads from coming undone
and to prepare for the next sewing (this is
called chaining off).
Draw the finished fabric gently backwards
and to the left as the machine is operating
and make chain stitches. This is called chain
stitch sewing. Then cut the threads 2-5 cm
(1-2”) from the presser foot.
Note:
Do not pull it out roughly as the needle
may bend and break.
For a neater finish, pull thread ends back
through the seam using hook or yarn needle.
