To Prepare for Sewing
With the left hand hold the end of the nee-
dle thread, leaving it slack from the hand
to the needle. Turn the hand wheel over
towards you for the needle to move down
and up again to its highest. Pull the thread
you are holding, and the under thread will
be brought up with it through the hole in
the throat plate, as shown in Fig. 11.
Place both ends of thread under and to
the back of the presser foot.
To Commence Sewing
Place the material to be sewn beneath the
presser foot, lower the latter, and com-
mence to sew by turning the hand wheel
over towards you.
NOTE: Do not try to help the feeding of
the work by pulling the material, as
this may deflect the needle and
cause it to break. The machine
feeds without any assistance.
27 & 28
Raise the needle bar to its highest, lift the press-
er foot (7, Fig. 5), at the same time pressing the
tension release (10, Fig. 5) with the thumb of the
right hand. Move the material back and to the
left, and sever the threads by passing them over
the thread cutter above the presser foot. Leave a
few inches of thread under and at the back of the
presser foot.
