• 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.
CAUTION: Do not place fingers near to 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.

The seam guides on the needle plate are there to help
you measure seam width. The numbers on the needle
plate indicate the distance between the center needle
position and the edge of the fabric. The lines are 1/8˝
(0.3 cm) apart, and are engraved at 3/8˝, 4/8˝ and 5/8˝.
The lines in millimeters are 5 mm apart, and are en-
graved at 10 mm, 15 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm.
