Helpful Hint

Like shown on drawing, stitches on top side
of fabric are good but bottom side tends to
have a bunch of thread, it usually means that the
upper thread is not threaded correctly (especially
threading of the upper thread tension
regulator may not be correct.) Refer to page
14 for correct threading.

CAUTION:To prevent accidents.

The feed dog will feed the fabric automatically.
Do not pull nor press on fabric with hands.
It will cause needle breakages or poor

quality stitches.
