2.Pull both threads under the presser foot toward the back of the machine, leaving about 6" (15cm) clear.

3.Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the presser foot lifter.

4.Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle enters the fabric.

Note: The Needle Plate has both Metric and Inch Markings as an aid for guiding your fabric when sewing a seam.
