machine will sew forward. When the regulator lever is raised so that the zero line is
below the line mark, the machine will sew backward. Forward and backward sewing
serves to strengthen certain sewing areas and to secure the ends of the threads.
The more the stitch regulator lever is displaced upward or downward, the longer the
forward or backward stitch will become. In order to ensure that the forward and
backward stitches are of the same length, the lock screw 14 limiting the upward and
downward movement of the stitch regulator lever 15 is turned outward or inward to a
greater or lesser degree. If the screw is turned outward, the displacement of the lever
is increased, and inward rotation of the screw will reduce the displacement.
Removal ol Work Irom the Machine
Raise the take-up lever into its highest position and lift the presser foot by means of
the lifting lever. This releases the top thread tension, so that the work can easily
be removed.
In particular, make sure that the work is always pulled from under the presser foot
towards the rear to prevent the needle from becoming bent and causing thread
breakage and faulty stitches.

Darning and Mending
When the machine is set for darning {plain and crosswisel, proceed as follows :
1. Raise take-up lever.
¡2. Remove presser foot and replace by hopper foot.
3. Lower feed dog by turning knob to the right to produce the darning symbol,
4. Set stitch regulator to zero so that the feed dog is not unnecessarily operated.
5. Set zigzag knob to zero.
The BEHNINA-Record Model 530-2 and Model 532-2 can be used for darning with or
without the slide-on table depending on the type of the work.
CroEs-wisa Darning far Linen, ate.
Cross-wise darning is simple with the Bernina, thanks to the patented hopper darn­
ing foot.
