NOTE:
When using the straight stitch foot, make sure to set the
stitch width control at 0. Otherwise the needle may strike
the presser foot and possibly break.
Starting to sew
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a
seam guide line on the needle plate (5/8 °' (1.6 cm) 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
now the proper length to begin sewing the next seam.
