• ENDING SEAM/REMOVAL OF FABRIC
Stitch to the edge of the fabric, then press the reverse stitch button and

backstitch for a few stitches to reinforce the end of the seam.
Turn the hand wheel until the take-up lever is in its highest position so

that the stitch is completed and the threads will pull freely. Lift the
presser foot and remove the fabric by drawing the threads to the left and
back, keeping them under the foot so as not to bend the needle. Cut the

threads with the thread cutter on the back of the presser bar. Leave the
thread ends three to four inches long.

OVERCASTING

Place the edge of the material underneath the

opening of the sewing foot and guide raw edge
along the center groove of the foot, allowing

stitch to form half on and half off the fabric.
The multiple stitch zigzag is a wiser choice for
most fabrics. See page(21).

SEAMING KNITS
The narrow zigzag can be used in seams of firm
knits for added strength. After sewing, open
seam and press flat. Tiny zigzag stitches can
hardly be seen and the seam will give when stret-

‘ched.
