Securing the End of Seam

Sew to the edge of the fabric and stop.

Raise the needles and presser foot.

While pushing the tension release lever up, gently pull the fabric to the back to remove the thread chain from the chaining finger.

Turn fabric upside down (top side of seam will be next to the feed dog). Gently pull the threads above the tension discs to remove any slack.

Align the edge of the fabric with the needle plate and lower the presser foot.

Sew about 5 cm (2”) over the seam and angle off the fabric.

IMPORTANT:

Re-threading Machine After a Thread Break

If the upper looper thread breaks while sewing, hand turn the handwheel to clear the lower looper thread off the upper looper. Rethread the upper looper and hand turn the handwheel to form a stitch.

If the lower looper thread breaks while sewing, cut and remove needle threads from needle eyes. Rethread lower looper and then rethread needle eyes. Needles must be threaded after the lower looper.

Removing Stitches from Fabric

Snip the needle thread(s) at intervals. Gently pull the looper thread(s) and the stitch will unravel.
