STRAIGHT STITCHING
Straight stitch is most frequently used for all types of sewing.
Let's begin by following the steps below.
1. SETTINGS
Presser foot - General Purpose Foot

NOTE: Based upon the weight of the fabric, slight
A. Thread tension control
B. Reverse stitch button
C. Programmable needle up/down button
D. Start/stop button
E. Presser foot lifter
F. Sewing speed control
2. Pull both threads under the presser foot toward the back of
the machine, leaving about 6" (15cm) clear.
3. Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the
presser foot lifter.
4. Turn the hand wheel toward you (counter-clockwise) until
the needle enters the fabric.
5. Start the machine. Guide the fabric gently with your hands.
When reaching the edge of the material, stop the sewing
machine.
NOTE: The Needle Plate has both Metric and Inch
Markings as an aid for guiding your fabric when
sewing a seam.
6. First turn the handwheel toward you (counter-clockwise)
until the needle is at its highest position. Raise the presser
foot, draw materials to the rear and cut off excess thread
with the thread cutter located on the bottom of face cover
as shown.
NOTE: To secure the stitching and avoid raveling,
press the reverse stitch switch and sew a few
stitches at the start and end of the seam.
To keep the seam straight, use one of the numbered guide
lines on the needle plate. The numbers indicate distance from
the needle at its center position.
The guide line on the bobbin cover plate is 1/4" (6mm) seam
guide line which is used for piecing quilt blocks and also for
narrow seams.
