Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a seam guide line on the needle plate (518" [1.6 cm] is most common). Lower the needle to the point where you want to start. Lower the presser foot and pull the threads toward the back. Depress the foot control. Gently guide the fabric along a seam guide line letting the fabric feed naturally.

. Finishing sewing

To fasten the ends of a seam, press the reverse stitch control and sew several reverse stitches. Raise the

presser foot. Remove the fabric, draw the threads to the back and cut them with the thread cutter. The threads are

now the proper length to begin sewing the next seam.

when guiding fabric, or the needle clamp screw may
strike and injure your fingers.	...........
