1	Stitch selector:	3
2	Stitch width:	1 to 5
3	Stitch length:	Any
4	Needle thread tension:	2 to 6
5	Feed dogs:	Dropped
*	Presser foot:	Remove

Drop the feed dogs, and then remove the foot holder. Adjust stitch width as desired. Draw a design onto the fabric with tailor’s chalk. Stretch the fabric between embroidery hoops, and then place the fabric under the needle.

Lower the presser foot lifter to engage the needle thread tension. Holding the needle thread in your left hand, rotate the handwheel counterclockwise for one complete turn. Pull the needle thread to draw the bobbin thread to the right (top) side of the fabric. At medium speed, stitch along the marked outline, guiding the fabric carefully by hand. After embroidery is completed, raise the feed dogs for normal sewing.
