h. Points to observe during sewing • Place the fabric under the cutter and lower the foot before commencing to sew. • Then slowly sew the first few stitches, the fabric will feed automatically and genUy guide by hand. • Do not push or pull the material so as to avoid the possibility of breaking the needles. Caution pushing or pulling of fabric can result in needle breakage and cause further damage to needle plate, and looper mechanism. • For finishing a seam, sew approximately 5 cm beyond the end of the seam then cut the thread chain. • Securing the seam: Tie the thread chain. For knit fabric, a crochet needle can be used to pull the thread chain into the seam. • To prevent unravelling of seams, sew ap proximately 5 cm beyond the seam. Then, flip fabric over and sew over the seam ap proximately 2 cm. • This machine will sew from fine to very heavy fabrics. When sewing very heavy fabrics, tighten the upper knife screw. (see illustration). • Caution: When sewing fine fabrics, remember to loosen the upper knife screw again if you have been sewing on heavy fabrics. 13
