Forward and Backward Sewing To Regulate the Length of Stitch According to the position of the stitch regulator 29 (Fig.14), the machine will sew forwards or backwards and make long or short stitches. For forward sewing move downwards knob 29 so that the zero line of the stitch regulator scale will be under the sign of demarcation on the right-hand side of the scale. For backward sewing move upwards knob 29 so that the zero line is above said sign of demarcation. Forward and backward sewing allows to reinforce certain parts of the fabric and to fasten the end of a stitch. The more the stitch regulator 29 is moved upwards or downwards, the longer the stitch will be. To ensure that forward and backward stitches are of the same length, use lock screw 30 (Fig. 14), by which the upward and downward movement of the stitch regulator 29 is limited. To shorten the movement, turn said lock screw inward; to lengthen it, turn the screw outwards. To Remove Work from Machine Stop the machine with the take-up lever at its highest point. Raise the presser foot with the lifter, which releases the top thread tension. Then take hold of the fabric and pull it from you. Take particular care to remove the material from the presser foot to the rear only, otherwise the needle will bend and cause then faulty stitches and thread breakage. To Turn a Corner Stop the machine while the needle is still in the cloth, lift the presser foot and turn the fabric round the needle, using it as a pivot. 22 BERNINA. f Fig. 16 Darning For darning, set the machine as follows 1. Bring take-up lever 25 to its highest point. 2. Remove presser foot with prolongation and insert darning foot. 3. Lower feed dog by turning knob 28 to the left, until darning sign will appear. 4. Set stitch regulator 29 on zero, so that the lowered feed dog will not be set in motion without need. 5. Set zigzag adjusting knob 31. on zero. With the Bernina Portable, darning can be done with or without the sewing table in position, according to the kind of fabric to be mended. 28
