HOW TO FINISH YOUR SEWING PROJECT (REVERSE STITCHING) Reverse stitching is used to reinforce stitches near the edge of material or wherever reinforcement is needed. 1. This is done by stitching to the edge of material .... then stopping. 2. Press Reverse Sewing Button and stitch back- wards for 3/8 inch (10 mm) from material edge. HOW TO REMOVE FINAL SEWING FROM MACHINE 1. Stop the machine. 2. Raise needle to its highest position and make sure that the thread take-up lever is also in the highest position. 3. Lift presser foot and pull out the material gently to the left side diagonally. 4. Cut both threads on the thread cutter. 5. Leave about 4 inches (10 cm) of threads between toes of the presser foot to the rear while the thread take-up lever is at the highest position, and you are ready to sew again without changing the thread pulled out of the needle. HOW TO SEW VERY THIN MATERIAL An underlay of thin paper will help eliminate skipped stitches and puckering on very thin material. HOW TO GUIDE YOUR MATERIAL Do not pull the material. Let the machine do the work. Merely guide the material with your fingers in front of the presser foot as shown in the illustration. If you pull the material, your needle may either bend or break. However, in case of special materials, such as tricot, crepes, knits, etc., we recommend that you support the material both in front and back of the presser foot with gentle tension as shown in the left illustration. - 20 -
