18. CHAINING OFF AND TEST SEWING
* When the machine is completely threaded, bring all
of the threads across the throat plate and slightly to
the left under the presser foot.
* Hold the threads and apply a slight tension.
* Turn the hand wheel toward you 2 or 3 complete
turns to start the thread chain.
* Lower presser foot.
* Continue holding the chain and press on the foot
controller until the chain is 5~7.5 cm (2~3 inches)
in length.
* Place fabric under the front of the presser foot and
sew a test sample.
Note: Do not pull on the fabric while sewing as this
may deflect the needle, causing it to break.
* At the end of the sample, continue to run the
machine with the presser foot down until the chain
reaches 15 ~20 cm (6~8 inches) in length.
Note: In case it is difficult to chain off when chain
stitching, pull the fabric lightly backward.
* Cut thread.
Note: Anytime you have rethreaded the machine
always chain off and sew a text sample to test
tensions and make adjustments as necessary.
