PREPARING TO SEW

Have take-up lever at highest point before starting to se - Do not try to help die feeding l pnlline the

material as this may deflect the needle and cause it to break.

After threading. NEVER run machine without material between presser foot and feed doe.

Place material and threads in position under the presser foot and lower the presser foot Tn i-u the hand

wheel toward von until the needle is at its highest point. ‘ion are now ready to begin sewing. By having the

needle at its highest point, it is not necessary to touch the hawl wheel to start the machint’. You merely press

the control. The speed of the machine is regulated by increasing or decreasing the amuon nt i’Si ire exerted

on the control.

REMOVING THE WORK

CREATIVE EMBROIDERY

The satin stitch. Fig. 22. which is the basis for most embroidery.is obtained by setting the stitch length as near () as possible withoutstopping the feeding action. The width ma be set anywhere fromjust past C) to the widest. 5. A raised effect is gained by reversing

Fn. 2the stitch and retracing the row ol satin stitch.

To operate the machine manually, producing embroidery patterns with your own skill and talent. usinti variatiuns of the zigzag and satin stitch, be certain the zigzag foot i used.
