REMOVING FABRIC
First turn the handwheel toward you until the
needle is at its highest position, then raise the
presser foot, draw materials to the rear and
cut off excess thread with the thread cutter
located on the presser bar as shown.
TOP-STITCHING
This is a seam you may want to show off! It's
on the front side of the garment, possibly at
the top of a "kick pleat" or on a lapel, both
functional and decorative. Usually, it's a
simple, forward stitch —with an extra-long
stitch length, or with special thread, match
ing or contrasting.

Stretch fabric between embroidery hoops
with hole centered. Lower presser bar and
sew at a slow speed moving fabric back and
forth with a steady rhythm to cover darning
area. When it is covered, turn fabric 1/4 a
turn and sew layer of stitching across first
layer.
If fabric is thin or badly damaged in hole area,
you may want to put a separate piece under
the hole for reinforcement.
