• Starting
to sew
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a seam
guide line on the needle plate (5/8"(1.6cm) is most common).
Lower the needle to the point where you want to start. Lower the
presser foot and pull the threads toward the back. Depress the
foot control. Gently guide the fabric along a seam guide line letting
the fabric feed naturally.
° Finishing
sewing
To fasten the ends of a seam, press the reverse stitch control
and sew several reverse stitches. Raise the presser foot. Remove
the fabric, draw the threads to the back and cut them with the
thread cutter. The threads are cut in a proper length for the next
seam.
, Seam allowance lines
