1. Before beginning to sew, pull threads under and back behind the presser foot about 3 or 4 inches.

2. The hand wheel always turns towards you, even when stitching in reverse.

3. Keep fingers several stitches away from the stitching line; keep them flat on the machine to the sides of the presser foot.

4. The presser foot must always be in the “down” position for sewing.

5. Don’t force or pull the fabric– the machine will feed it automatically.

12. Watch the seam guide as you sew (NOT THE NEEDLE) to produce an even sewing line.

13. When stopping in the middle of a line of sewing, put the needle down into the fabric to prevent thread loops. (PIVOT)

14. Keep the bulk of the fabric to the left of the needle when sewing so you can see the seam guides on the needle plate.
