along the seam guide line letting the fabric feed
naturally. (Fig. 2)
Securing a Seam:
To fasten the beginning of a seam, press the reverse stitch
lever and sew several reverse stitches first and then release
the reverse stitch lever and start sewing forwards. At the
end of the seam, repeat the process again. (Fig. 2)

to change the directions with the needle still in the
fabric. (Fig. 3)

new direction using the needle as a pivot.
3. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing in the new
direction.
Finish Sewing a Seam:
To fasten the ends of a seam, press the reverse stitch lever
and sew several reverse stitches. Raise the foot control
and remove the fabric. (Fig. 2)
