7. Inserting the Work and Starting to Sew
Depress knee lifter. This causes the feed plate to swing downward and
creates a gap between the presser foot and the feed plate.
Insert the work in the gap just opened in such a manner that the folded
or sewn edge of the material is alongside the edge guide of the presser
foot. ( see Fig. 1)
When the material is in proper position, completely release the knee lifter.
Get the machine started slowly and watch the material pass edge guide
rather than to observe the action of the needle.
8. Adjustment of Needle Penetration
The type of material to be blindstitched governs the degree of needle
penetration which is required. It is, therefore. recommended to stitch a few
centimeters as a test and make adjustments for penetration depending on the
appearance of the trial stitching.
Tum regulator clockwise for less penetration and counter-clockwise for
more penetration. (Fig. 3)
