5Raise the needle and the presser foot, then hold the ends of the upper and lower thread to prevent them from being pulled out of the fabric and pull the fabric out from the front of the presser foot.

Suba la aguja y el pie prensatela, sujete los extremos de los hilos superior e inferior para que no se salgan de la tela y, después, tire de ella desde la parte delantera del pie.

6Holding both threads, pass them through the curled part of the presser foot and pull them toward the back of the presser foot. Wrap the fabric around the curled part of the presser foot in the same way. Position the edge of the fabric just behind the needle and lower the presser foot.

Sujetando ambos hilos, páselos por la parte ondulada del pie prensatela y llévelos hasta la parte trasera del pie. Coloque la tela alrededor de la parte ondulada del pie prensatela de la misma manera. Sitúe el borde de la tela justo detrás de la aguja y baje el pie.

7Without allowing the fabric to stick out from the right side of the presser foot, lightly pull on the thread while slowly sewing.

Sin permitir que se salga la tela por el lado derecho del pie prensatela, tire ligeramente del hilo mientras cose lentamente.

8After sewing 2 (3/4 inch) to 3 cm (1 1/8 inch) of the fabric, release the thread and guide the fabric from the front of the presser foot with your left hand. Keep a uniform amount of fabric wrapped around the presser foot curl until the seam is completed.

Después de coser entre 2 (3/4 pulg.) y 3 cm

(1 1/8 pulg.) de la tela, suelte el hilo y guíe la tela con la mano izquierda desde la parte delantera del pie prensatela. Mantenga la misma cantidad de tela colocada alrededor de la parte ondulada del pie prensatela hasta que termine la costura.
