Now that you
are familiar
with
the controls
on your
machine
and with
the
accessories
provided
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:

Test 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.
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.
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 placed
on the 5/8" seam marking on the needle plate when making a simple
seam.
Run the machine at slow even speed. The more pressure you put on the
foot control, the faster the machine will sew.
Fasten each seam by back tacking at the beginning and end of the seam.
Always finish sewing each seam with the needle at its highest point.
Guide the fabric gently with your hand in front of the needle.
Never
pull or hold the fabric in such a way that the normal feeding is altered.
8. When turning the hand wheel manually, always turn it toward you.
