Stitching
When
starting
mnake
-sure
that
the
take-up
lever
is
in
its
highest
position,
T1is
will
pre-
vent
the
needle
thread
from
pulling
out
of
S.
the
needle
if
the
thread
has
been
crt
too
short.
Caution,
you
may
sew
forward
only.
Position
neeodie
in
very
edge
of
fabric,
lower
.the
presser
Ioot
and
stitch.
If
tile
material
is
'I
pivoted
at
thie
neodle
for
operations
where
cornering
is
required,
mjjitke
certain
that
the
needle
is
on
its
upward
movement
(approx.
V,
inch
[I
cmj
abov
its
lowest
point)
to
avoid
skipped
stih
les.
Then
continue
to
stitch
in

To
Remove
The
Fabric
The
,asiest
way
of
reimoving
ili
fabric
is
to
New
off
the
edge
of
the
fabric
(Illustration
I)
while
sigh
ftly
pulling
on
the
material,
This
produces
ar
chain
which
should
be
cut
sonme
distance
away
from
the
fabric
(Illistration
2).
However,
if
the
seam
is
ended
before
the
edge
of
the
fabric,
bring
the
take-up
lever
to
its
highest
point,
then
lift
the
presser
foot
and
pull
some
thread
through
the
take-up
lever
fror
the
spool
pin
(Illustration
3).
Now
draw
thre
loose
thread
between
presser
fool
plate
and
top
surface
of
fabric
to
the
left
with
the
scissors
(Illustration
4)
and
then
cut
the
thread
approx.
'/,
inch
(I cm)
above
fabric
(Illustration
5).
Remove
fabric
from
the
ma-
chine
by
pulling
it
straight
back,
away
from
you.
This
will
cause
the
thread
end
to
pull
through
the
fabric
to
the
underside
and
form
a
temporary
lock
(Illustration
61.
If
you
wish
to
secure
this
temporary
lock,
fold
the
thread
end
back
over
the
chain
and
fasten
with
hand
stitching.
