EMDEKO LT-72 - Preparing to Sew

10. PREPARING TO SEW
1. Hold the loose end of the needle
thread in your left hand, and turn the
fly wheel toward you by hand until
the needle moves down through the
needle plate and up again to its highest
position. Pull the needle thread gently,
and the bobbin thread will come up
with it through the hole in the needle
plate. Then place both ends of the
thread back between the toes of the
presser foot.
NOTE: If the bobbin thread does not
rise, check to see if there is at least
3 or 4 inches of bobbin thread hang-
ing loosely from the bobbin case.
2. Pull the two threads at least 5 inches
behind the presser foot. Place material
under presser foot, and lower the foot
with the presser bar lifter. Regulate
the stitch to the desired size and sew.
TO REMOVE MATERIAL, raise the
needle to its highest position and raise
the foot with the presser bar lifter,
then pull the fabric back and to the
left. Cut the thread with the thread
cutter behind presser bar, leaving a
few inches of thread behind the pres-
ser foot.
