To Remove the Work
Stop the machine with the thread take-up lever
(5, Fig. 12) at its highest position, raise the presser
foot and draw the fabric back and to the left, pass
the threads over the thread cutter (A, Fig. 13) and
pull down lightly to sever them. Leave the ends of
the threads under the presser foot.
To Turn a Corner
'Stop the machine when the needle is commencing
its upward stroke. Raise the presser foot and turn
the work as desired, using the needle as a pivot,
then lower the presser foot.
To Regulate the Pressure on the Material
For ordinary family sewing, it is seldom necessary
to change the pressure on the material. If sewin
fine silk or flimsy material; lighten the pressure b
turning the thumb screw (A, Fig. 24) on the top o
the machine over to the left so that it screws up. Tc
increase the pressure, turn this thumb screw over t
the right so that it screws down. The pressur
should be only heavy enough to prevent the materia
from rising with the needle and to enable the feed t
move the work along evenly. The heavier the ma
terial, the heavier the pressure; the lighter th
material, the lighter the pressure.
