Starting to Sew

1. Use the knee lift (p. 2) to raise the presser
feet. Place the material under the feet, then
release the knee lift to lower the feet.
Tip: Use the knee lift to raise the presser feet
and then use the foot lock lever (A) to lock them
in the up position.

2. The threads from the needle and bobbin
should be behind the feet as you start to
sew. Hold them down with your finger.
3. With the feet down, press the motor pedal
to begin sewing. After the first couple
stitches are made, you may let go of the
thread ends. (If the thread ends are not held
down for the first few stitches, they may get
tangled.)
CAUTION: Always turn the balance wheel of
the machine toward you to reduce the possibility
of a thread jam in the lower mechanism (30).
The balance wheel will be hard to turn by hand,
this is normal due to heavy spring pressure and
motor resistance.

Never operate the machine (when threaded)
without material under the presser foot.
