Zo prepare for Sewing
Pick up the thread as follows :
Holding
the loose end of the needle thread in your
left
hand,
turn
the
balance
wheel
toward
you
by
hand
until
the
needle
moves
down
and up again to its highest point. Pull the
needle
thread
gently,
and
the
bobbin
thread
will come up with it in the form of a loop
through
the
needle
hole.
With
your
finger,
pull
this
loop
until
the
end
of
the
thread
appears. (If the bobbin thread does not rise,
check to see if at least 5 or 6 inches of
bobbin
thread
is
hanging
loosely
from
the
bobbin
case.)
Then
draw
both
ends
of
the
thread
back
under
the
presser
foot
and
through the toes cf the presser foot.
Place
the
material
to
be
sewn
beneath
the presser foot, and lower the presser foot
lever.
Insert
needle
into
material
by
turning
the
balance
wheel
toward
you,
from
top
down,
by
hand.
Regulate
stitch
to
desired
size, and start sewing.
Do
not
trv
to
help
the
feeding
of
the
work
by
pulling
the
material,
as
this
may
bend
the
needle
and
cause
it
to
blunt
or
break.
As
the
machine
feeds
without
any
assistance,
it
ir
sufficient
merely
to
guide
the
fabric
gently
by
hand
in
the
direction
you want it to be sewn.
IT
IS
ADVISABLE
TO
TEST
THE
TENSION
AND
THE
STITCH
LENGTH
ON
TWO
PLIES
OF
SCRAP
MATERIAL
BEFORE
STARTING
TO
SEW
THE
ACTUAL GARMENT.
i c remove the work, stop the ma

then pass the threads over the thread
cutter, and pul! down lightly to cut
them.
