REVERSE STITCH CONTROL
It is best to begin and end seams with a few stitches taken in rpverse. This is called back tacking. Back tacking fastens the ends of the seams firmly and prevents raveling.
When reverse stitching is needed, turn the control clockwise and hold there
during sewing. The fabric will imme- diately start feeding backwards and seam will be fastened.

CONTROL
This control gives you the means of varying the stitches on the Special Stitch Dial. When the pointer is turned to the Red Dot, the machine sews
forward only. When the pointer is turned to the White Dot, the forward
designs are varied by the machine sewing in a forward and reverse manner. Carefully read directions given in the next section of the book in order to
accomplish the various stitches correctly.
This control is also used in making buttonholes (Model 1525 only). Detailed instructions are given in the next section of the book.
