START SEWING
Sewing a Straight Stitch
A straight stitch is used for sewing seams and topstitching.
HOW TO:
1.
Set the machine for Straight Stitch by setting the Stitch Selector Dial to straight stitch.
(see page 19)
2.
The Stitch Length Dial control can be set at the stitch length that you desire. (see page 19)
SEW ALONG:
Use a slightly shorter stitch length for lightweight fabrics, finer threads and needles. Use a longer
stitch length such as 3 or 4 for heavy weight fabrics.
It may be helpful to gently hold the thread tails with your left hand for the first few stitches, as this
will help guide the fabric under the foot as you begin to sew.
Stitch Selector Dial
1. Set the Stitch Selector Dial so that the straight stitch symbols are
directly below the dot.
2. Set the Stitch Length Dial control so that the number 2 is directly below
the dot on the machine. This is an average stitch length setting for
regular sewing.
3. Place the fabric under the All-Purpose Foot with the right-hand edge of
the fabric lined up with the desired seam guide line on the right side of
the needle plate. Lower the presser foot, then step on the foot control
to begin sewing. Always make sure that the presser foot is lowered
before you begin to sew. If you fail to do so, the machine will jam as
you begin to sew. Start your seam by sewing 2 to 3 stitches. Press the
reverse lever to sew backwards 2 to 3 stitches, which will lock the end
of the seam so the stitches don't come undone. Release the reverse
lever to sew forward again. Continue sewing the length of the seam.
Press the reverse lever at the end of the seam and sew backwards 2 to
3 stitches. Release the reverse lever to sew forward again to finish.
