SEWING SUGGESTIONS

Belt for Treadle Machine (99K29)

The Belt should be only just tight enough not to slip. If too loose, shorten and rejoin.

Breaking of Needles Might be Caused by:

1.Improper size of needle for thread and material -- see page 11.

2.Bent needle.

3.Pulling material when stitching.

4.Needle striking an improperly fastened presser foot.

5.Crossing too thick seams with too small a needle.
