Positioning the fabric

Be sure that the fabric pieces are sewn in the correct order and that the right and wrong sides of the fabric are aligned correctly.

1Turn on the sewing machine.

The straight stitch (left needle position) is automatically selected.

2Press (needle position button) once or twice to raise the needle.

3Place the fabric under the presser foot.

•If the seam allowance is positioned on the right side, sewing in a straight line is easier and the extra fabric does not get in the way.

4While holding the end of the thread and the fabric with your left hand, turn the balance wheel toward you with your right hand to lower the needle to the starting point of the stitching.

5Lower the presser foot lever.
