A woman sewing by hand will nor
mally draw one stitch tight before
making another. On a sewing ma
chine, this is done automatically by
take-up lever d.
Therefore, always turn the
balance wheel toward you
until the take-up lever is at its
highest position before you
begin and after you have
completed a seam. Failure
to observe this rule may
cause the thread to tangle
under the needle plate or
slip out of the needle eye.

The machine will feed the material under the
sewing foot automatically. All you have to do is
guide the work. Never try to hasten feeding by
pushing or pulling the fabric while stitching
because the needle may bend or break.
