To Prepare for Sewing

To Commence Sewing

With the left hand hold the end of the needle thread, leaving it slack from the hand to the needle. Turn the balance 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 (see Fig. 12) Lay both threads back under the presser foot and close the slides.

Place the material beneath the presser foot, lower the presser foot and commence to sew, turning the balance wheel over toward you.

Remove the Work

Let the thread take-up lever rest at its highest point, raise the presser foot and draw the fab- ric back and to the left, pass the threads over the thread cutter (A, Fig. 12) and pull down lightly to sever them. Leave the ends of the threads under the presser foot.
