REVERSESTITCHING

Raise	lever	for	reverse	stitching.		Lower	lever for	forward	stitching.	It
is best	to	begin	and end	most	seams	with	reverse	stitching	often	called
back	tacking.

BASTING

For accomplishing quicker, more even and firmer basting, we suggest you

regulate the maciline in the following manner; Set stitch length at No. 4

for the longest possible stitch. Machine should be threaded in normal

manner except bypassing the check spring as illustrated. Basting is

easily removed by pulling bottom thread. When basting very sheer fabrics,

use a paper backing.

If

you

prefer

to

use

pins

for

basting,

your

KENMORE

will

sew

over

the

pins.

Be

sure

to

keep

the

pins

at

right

angles

to the

seam

and

the

head

of

the

pin

away

from

the

presser

foot.

Also

reduce

pressure

on

presser

foot.
