I Starting to Sew When starting to sew with the straight stitch, you should follow the instructions And remember: Never pull the material along, merely guide it. I given on pages 21 and 22. Make sure par ticularly that you sew at a medium stitch length (setting of stitch length regulator as pictured on page 21) and that the cam control is on straight stitch as pictured on page 23. V'/hen making a sharp turn, stop the ma chine and raise the sewing foot for a mo ment but leave the needle in the fabric to act as a pivot as you turn the material into the new direction. t Place the fabric between sewing foot and Re,novin the Work needle plate and let down the sewing foot by lowering the presser bar lifter. As you depress the foot control, the machine is set in motion, yet it is good to aid its start a little with your right hand on the handwheel. During the first few stitches hold the ends of both threads with your left hand. Bring the thread take-up lever to its high est position, raise the presser bar lifter and remove the fabric to the back. Now cut off the threads. Make sure, however, that you leave the ends of the threads about 3" long under and at the back of the sewing foot so that the machine is ready for the next sewing. L 20

Re,novin
the
Work
Place
the
fabric
between
sewing
foot
and
needle
plate
and
let
down
the
sewing
foot
by
lowering
the
presser
bar
lifter.
As
you
depress
the
foot
control,
the
machine
is
set
in
motion,
yet
it
is
good
to
aid
its
start
a
little
with
your
right
hand
on
the
hand-
wheel.
During
the
first
few
stitches
hold
the
ends
of
both
threads
with
your
left
hand.
