Note: The following instructions do not apply to cover
stitch. For instructions on cover stitch, see
page 49 "How to Sew a Cover Stitch."
When the machine is completely threaded, bring all
of the threads across the needle plate and slightly to
the left under the presser foot.
Hold the threads and apply a slight tension.
Turn the hand wheel toward you 2 or 3 complete
turns to start the thread chain.
Lower presser foot by lowering presser bar lifter.
Continue holding the chain and press on the foot
controller until the chain is 5~7.5 cm (2~3 inches)
in length.
Place fabric under the front of the presser foot and
sew a test sample.
Note: Do not pull on the fabric while sewing as this
may deflect the needle, causing it to break.
At the end of the sample, continue to run the
machine with the presser foot down until the chain
reaches 15 ~20 cm (6~8 inches) in length.
Note: In case it is difficult to chain off when
chain stitching, pull the fabric lightly
backward.
Cut thread.
Note: Anytime you have rethreaded the machine
always chain off and sew a text sample to
test tensions and make adjustments as
necessary.
A mark to indicate the needle location is provided
on the presser foot fitted on this machine. Use
this mark as a guide when sewing.
