Guiding and Supporting Fabric
Most fabrics need only to be guided in front of the
presser foot.
Some fabrics such as filmy sheers, knits, etc., require
support in front and back of the presser foot while
being stitched.
ENDING A SEAM
1. Leave presser foot in down position. Depress and
hold reverse-stitch push button and run the machine
at slow speed.
2. While holding reverse-stitch push button, backstitch
about 12 millimeters (1/2") in from edge of fabric to
reinforce end of seam. Then release push button.
3. With the take-up lever at its highest point, raise the
presser foot and remove the fabric by drawing it
back and to the left.
4. Cut thread ends on thread cutter at rear of presser
bar.
