Refer to page 10 for how to insert the needle. Threading the two needles is done in the same way as described on page 59. Detach the sewing foot. (Lower the folding table if raised.) Pass the filler thread through the cut-out at the front edge of the needle plate and, with the help of the threader, pull it up through the guide slot located in front of the needle hole. Attach the piping foot and place the end of the filler thread under the centre groove to the back of the foot. Deposit the hank of thread in your lap where it will unwind itself. Now place the fabric under the foot and start making the first row of stitches. Then turn the fabric and make a second row of stitches close to the first one, letting the sword-shaped needle enter the very holes that were made in the first row of stitches. Cut off the ends of the filler thread close to the fabric. o lass bat is t e is especially suitable for this sewing technique where nothreads are drawn out. When working with Ii n en and similar material, you first draw out a number of threads as you would do when hemstitching by hand. You may start stitching at the edge of the fabric or anywhere in the middle of it. In the latter case you should fasten the ends of the stitch rows by making a few zigzag stitches across them, with the zigzag lever set on 2 (for correct setting see page 22 and sketch on page 39). 38
