STARTING THE SEAM Always test-stitch seams on fabric scraps before stitching your garment. This will enable you to get the feel of handling the fabric. Also, it will indicate whether tension, pressure, stitch length, needle and thread are correct. To avoid tangled threads on the underside of the fabric, it is important to start and end seams carefully. • Raise the take-up lever to its highest position by turning the hand wheel toward you or pressing lightly on the speed controller. Raise presser foot. • Draw needle and bobbin threads under foot and place them diagonally to right. • Hold thread ends and with a light touch on the speed controller or by turning the hand wheel toward you, position needle in fabric about 1/2 inch from fabric edge. • Lower the presser foot. • Press stitch-length dial all the way down and hold in place. • Start machine and backstitch to edge of fabric. (Do not sew beyond edge of fabric.) • Release the stitch-length dial and sew in forward direction.
