TO START SEWING
TO REMOVE THE WORK
With the needle raised and the threads drawn back at least 4
inches through the toes of the presser foot, place the material
to be sewn beneath the presser foot and lower the presser
foot lift lever. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the nee-
dle enters the material. Regulate the desired stitch length
(Fig. 12) and start sewing.
Do not try to help the feeding of the material by pulling by
hand, as this may bend or break the needle. Gently guide the
material as it feeds in the direction you want to sew.
Stop the machine by releasing the pressure on the foot or
knee control and stopping the hand wheel with your right
hand. If you are stopping to turn a corner, stop with the nee-
dle just entering the material. If you are going to remove the
material, stop with the needle and take up lever at their high-
est positions. Then, raise the presser foot lift lever, draw the
material to the back about 6-8 inches, and cut the thread.
