SECTION 3. LEARN THE STITCHES
Starting to sew
• Insert the fabric under the front of the foot.
(It is not necessary to raise the foot.)
• Turn the handwheel gently toward you a couple of
turns and check the thread chain. Then start sewing
slowly. The fabric will be automatically fed. Guide the
fabric in the direction desired.
Finishing to sew
• When stitching is completed, continue to run the
machine slowly to produce a thread chain for about 12
cm (5" ) while pulling the thread chain lightly to the
back.
• Cut the threads with the thread cutter as illustrated,
leaving about 5 cm (2") thread chain from the end of
fabric.

Sewing continuously
Insert next fabric under the front of the foot, then start
sewing. It is not necessary to raise the presser foot for
ordinary fabric.
* For heavy weight fabric, raise the presser foot and
insert the fabric in front of the knife.
Then lower the foot and sew.
