Securing seam

For fastening the ends of seams, press the Reverse Button and sew several reverse stitches.

The machine sews in reverse as long as you press and hold the Reverse Button.

Press the Reverse Button once when sewing the Locka-Matic stitch (pattern 3) or Locking stitch (pattern 4) so the machine will lock the stitch off and stop automatically.

After finishing sewing, raise the presser foot and pull the fabric to the rear.

Draw both needle and bobbin threads up and into the Thread Cutter. The threads will be cut at the proper length for starting the next seam.
