Drawing Up Lower Thread; Foot Pressure - White 1927 Instruction Book

Drawing Up Lower Thread
Hold end of upper thread with
left hand.
Turn handwheel slowly towards
you until needle moves down and
up again.
Pull upper thread slowly and
lower thread will be brought up
in a loop.
Pull out both threads to about 1 5
cm (6") and place them together
under presser foot on left.
Foot Pressure
Push down the outer ring of the
pressure regulator. This will re
lease the pressure on the presser
foot. To increase the pressure,
push down inner pin until suitable
pressure is obtained.
Insufficient pressure may cause
poor feeding of the fabric, skipped
stitches, or difficulty in guiding
the fabric. If feed dogs or presser
foot marks appear on the fabric,
reduce the pressure.
When sewing multiple thickness
or heavy fabric, reduce the
pressure. Increase pressure when
sewing lighter weight fabrics.
