Preparation for Sewing and Checking

Check that no thread slips off guides, or breaks. Confirm that the upper cutter moves against the lower cutter correctly by turning the handwheel slowly towards you. If it is not correct, check if

there is any fabric or waste thread between cutters. Turn the handwheel towards you with your right

hand to check that the thread winds around the stitch finger of the needle plate.

If the thread doesn’t wind around the stitch finger of the needle plate, check if any threads are threaded incorrectly.
