Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel towards 3 you by hand until the needle swings fully to the left. It should just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does not, adjust the guide A (B) on the Blindhem Foot (A) so that the needle just pierces the fabric fold and the guide just rests against the fold.
