To Prepare for Sewing

Have the thread take-up lever at its highest position. With the left hand hold the end of the needle thread, leaving it slack from the hand to the needle.

Turn the hand wheel over toward you until the needle moves down and up again to its highest point, thus catching the bobbin thread. Draw up the needle thread and the bobbin thread will come up with it through the hole in the throat plate as shown in Fig. 22.

Lay both threads back under the presser foot diagonally across the feed, to right or left, depending upon which side of the needle the material is to be located so that when the presser foot is lowered, the threads will be firmly held between the feed and the presser foot.
