Firmly place your fingers on each side of the fabric to ensure control over the direction of the stitches. Lightly press on the pedal to start sewing. Slide the fabric through at a

slow, regular rate. Do not try to force the fabric as it is fed, as doing so could damage the needle.
Next, try to sew a corner of the fabric. Position your fingers on the fabric as previously indicated and gently turn the fabric with your fingers to the left or right, by controlling the
operation with your fingers.
Stop sewing just before reaching the edge of the fabric. Shut off the machine (1) (OFF) when the stitches are done.

and lift the needle to its highest position by manually turning the flywheel . Push the needle's safety mechanism towards the back. Thread the sewing machine as shown
 
in the sewing machine diagram. Thread the needle and then pass the thread under the presser foot and pull it to the back, leaving approximately 20 cm. Once this operation is
done, it is IMPERATIVE to close the safety mechanism again. The thread of the spool that is located in the spool housing must also be pulled towards the back of the machine.
SPOOL REWINDING — Diagram B:
When there is no longer any thread on your spool , you may rewind some thread on it. Take out the telescopic reel holder located on the machine and place a full spool of

thread on it. Pull out the pin located in the middle of the flywheel by pressing on it and turning it towards you. Place your empty spool on it. Wind the thread several times

counter clockwise around your empty spool, and then place the spool on the pin. Using the slow setting (L), switch on your machine and then gently press on the pedal. To

make rewinding easier, guide the thread using your finger.
Once you are done rewinding, turn off the machine (OFF).
