5. Some Useful Sewing Hints

TO TURN CORNERS;

I,

Stop the machine while needles still in the material,

U Raise the presser foot and turn the fabtic using the needle as a pivot.

Lower the presser foot and resume sewing.

TO SEW ELASTIC FABRICS :

in sewing such elastic materials as jeiseys, bias cut cloths, etc., it is advisable

to sew them with reduced upper thread tension, otherwise the thread will break

when the sewn materials arc stretched.

TO SEW VERY THIN CLOTH:

When sew'ing very thin cloth which tends to gather as you sew, place a sheet

of newspaper or any other thin paper underneath the mateial and sew with the

shortest stitch laossible. This will keep your work from gathering.

BASTING:

Reduce the tension of the upjxi thread and employ the longest stitch possible.

The stitches may then be easily removed by pulling the lower thread.

TO KEEP YOUR MACHINE IN PERFECT CONDITION:

Keep all moving parts of the machine constantly oiled and clean.

Always turn balance wheel toward you.

Do not run machine without fabric under the needle.

4, When sew'ing, do not pull the material otherwise you will bend the needle.

The machine is designed to feed the material automatically.

Do not operate machine when the presser bar lifter is raised.
