SINGER 216G - Manual (Page 26)

Do not pull the material along in order to aid the
feeding, since this might bend the needle or even
break it. The machine feeds without any assistance.
To Remove the Work
As soon as the thread take-up lever has reached its
highest
position, raise the presser foot, draw the
fabric back and to the left, pass the threads over the
thread cutter (F, Fig. 10) and pull lightly to sever
them. The ends of the threads are again placed under
the presser foot as described above in "To Commence
Sewing".
Thread Tensions
For
ordinary sewing the interlocking of the needle
and bobbin threads must take place in the middle of
the sewing work as shown below:

If the tension on the needle thread is too tight or
the tension on the bobbin thread is too loose, then
the
needle thread will lie straight along the upper
surface of the material as illustrated in Fig. 20.
