Securing The End Of Seam; Removing Stitches From Fabric - Janome 1100D Instruction Book

Securing the End of Seam

Sew to the edge of the fabric and stop.
Raise the needles and presser foot.
While pushing the tension release lever up, gently pull
the fabric to the back to remove the thread chain from
the chaining finger.
Turn fabric upside down (top side of seam will be next
to the feed dog). Gently pull the threads above the
tension discs to remove any slack.
Align the edge of the fabric with the needle plate and
lower the presser foot.
Sew about 5 cm (2") over the seam and angle off the
fabric.
IMPORTANT:
Re-threading Machine After a Thread Break
If the upper looper thread breaks while sewing, hand
turn the handwheel to clear the lower looper thread off
the upper looper. Rethread the upper looper and hand
turn the handwheel to form a stitch.
If the lower looper thread breaks while sewing, cut and
remove needle threads from needle eyes. Rethread
lower looper and then rethread needle eyes. Needles
must be threaded after the lower looper.

Removing Stitches from Fabric

Snip the needle thread(s) at intervals. Gently pull the
looper thread(s) and the stitch will unravel.
