• 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.
• 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.
Do not place fingers near the presser foot
when guiding fabric, or the needle clamp
screw may strike and injure your fingers.
To Change Sewing Direction
Stop the machine and turn the handwheel toward
you to bring the needle down into the fabric.
Raise the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle to change
sewing direction as desired. Lower the presser
foot and continue sewing.
Use the Seam Guides
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˝, 5/8˝ and
6/8˝. The lines in millimeters are 5 mm apart, and
are engraved at 10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm.
