STARTING TO SEW

2.

STRAIGHT STITCHING

Straight stitch is most frequently used for every aspect of
sewing. Lets learn how to sew following the steps below.
1. SETTINGS
Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
Thread tension control – 4
NOTE: Based upon the weight of the fabric, slight "fine
tuning" of the tension may be desired.
A. Thread tension control
B. Needle position button
C. Reverse stitch button
D. Presser foot lifter
2. Pull both threads under the presser foot toward the
back of the machine, leaving about 6"(15cm) clear.
3. Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the
presser foot lifter.
4. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle enters
the fabric.
5. Start the machine. Guide the fabric gently with your
hands. When reaching the edge of the material, stop the
sewing machine
NOTE: The Needle Plate has both Metric and Inch
Markings as an aid for guiding your fabric when
sewing a seam
6. First turn the handwheel toward you until the needle is at
its highest position, then raise the presser foot, draw
materials to the rear and cut off excess thread with the
thread cutter located on the bottom of face cover as shown.
NOTE: To secure the stitching and avoid raveling,
press the reverse stitch switch and sew a few stitches at
the start and end of the seam.

KEEPING SEAMS STRAIGHT

To keep the seam straight, use one of the numbered
guide lines on the needle plate. The numbers indicate
distance from the needle at its center position.
The guide line on the bobbin cover plate is a 1/4"(6mm)
seam guide line which is used for piecing quilt blocks and
also for narrow seams.
