Start Sewing
1. When the machine is completely threaded, close the front
cover and bring all of the threads over the stitch plate and
slightly to the left under the presser foot.
2. Ensure that the upper blade moves against the lower blade
correctly by turning the hand wheel slowly toward you. If the
upper cutter blade does not move correctly, check if there are
any fabric or waste thread stuck between the blades.
3. Hold the threads and apply a slight tension.
4. Turn the hand wheel toward you 2 or 3 complete turns to start
making a thread chain. Check if all threads wind around the
stitch finger of the stitch plate. If the threads do not wind
around the finger, make sure each thread is threaded
correctly.
5. Continue holding the thread chain while pressing the foot
control. Sew until the chain is 5-8cm (2
″
-3
″
) in length.
6. Place fabric under the front of the presser foot and sew a test
sample. Guide the fabric slightly with your left hand while
sewing. Do not pull on the fabric as this may deflect the
needle, causing it to break.
7. When you reach the end of the fabric, continue sewing while
drawing the finished fabric gently backwards and to the left.
This is called chaining off. It prevents the threads from coming
undone and prepares for next sewing.
8. Cut off the thread chain 2-5cm (1
″
-2
″
) behind the presser foot.
Pin Placement
Insert straight pins to the left of the presser foot. The pins will be
easy to remove and are away from the cutters.
Warning:
Sewing over pins will damage and might destroy the
edge of the cutters.
Securing Thread Chain
1. Thread the chain into a large eyed, hand sewing needle.
2. Insert the needle into the end of the seam and pull the chain
into the seam to secure the threads.
