21. CHAINING OFF AND TEST SEWING Note: The following instructions do not apply to cover stitch. For instructions on cover stitch, see page 49 "How to Sew a Cover Stitch." When the machine is completely threaded, bring all of the threads across the needle plate and slightly to the left under the presser foot. Hold the threads and apply a slight tension. Turn the hand wheel toward you 2 or 3 complete turns to start the thread chain. Lower presser foot by lowering presser bar lifter. Continue holding the chain and press on the foot controller until the chain is 5~7.5 cm (2~3 inches) in length. Place fabric under the front of the presser foot and sew a test sample. Note: Do not pull on the fabric while sewing as this may deflect the needle, causing it to break. At the end of the sample, continue to run the machine with the presser foot down until the chain reaches 15 ~20 cm (6~8 inches) in length. Note: In case it is difficult to chain off when chain stitching, pull the fabric lightly backward. Cut thread. Note: Anytime you have rethreaded the machine always chain off and sew a text sample to test tensions and make adjustments as necessary. Information A mark to indicate the needle location is provided on the presser foot fitted on this machine. Use this mark as a guide when sewing. 38 Mark Mark
