Now that you are familiar with the controls on your machine and with the accessoriesprovided for the machine, you are ready to start to sew with your new
Kenmore sewing machine, Below are some good habits to follow each time you sit down to sew:
1.
Inspect the needle.
It should
be straight,
properly
set and sharp on the point.
It should
be the correct size for the fabric
and thread
being used. Do not be
afraid
to change your
needle frequently.
Many
of the new fabrics
made of synthetic
blends
tend to dull the needles more easily than
fabrics
made of natural
fibers.
2.
Before
placing
the material
on the machine,
see that the ends of the threads
have been drawn
about
4 inches to the rear of the machine.
Hold on to threads
during
the sewing of the first
3 or 4 stitches
of the seam.
3.
Test the machine
stitch
on a scrap of fabric
you plan to use. The fabric
should be double
thickness.
Adjust
the machine
for the length
of stitch and tension
suitable
to your
fabric.
4.
Fabric
should
be placed
under
the presser
foot
with
the bulk of the material
to the left of the needle and the right edge of the material
