Starting to Sew
Always test sew on scraps of the same fabric that you
will be using. Place the fabric scrap under the presser
foot and needles.
For the best results, sew on light to medium weight
fabrics.
Swing up the presser foot lever to lower the presser
foot.
NOTE:
The machine does not run if the presser foot is raised.
Hand turn the handwheel to form the first few stitches.
Start sewing slowly and gradually increase sewing
speed.
Hand guide the fabric gently while sewing. Check the
stitch formation. If the stitch has irregularities, check
the threading.
When you reach the end of the fabric, continue running
the machine slowly to produce a thread chain for about
10 cm (4”) while pulling the threads gently to the back.
Cut the threads with the thread cutter.

To sew the next fabric, simply place a piece of fabric in
front of the feed dogs. Tip up the front end of the foot
and insert the fabric under the foot.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to raise the presser foot when
placing the next fabric piece.
