SEWING IN REVERSE
When you wish to sew in reverse to tie the threads at the beginning or the end of a seam,
raise Levers 10, Fig. 12-B, up as it will go. The machine will sew in reverse until Lever 10 is
returned to its original position.
ADJUSTING THE TENSIONS
Always adjust the upper tension with the presser foot down,
as the tension is released when it is raised. To increase the
tension on the upper thread, turn dial (Fig. 13) to the right, or
clockwise. To decrease, turn to the left. The higher the number
on the dial the tighter the tension. Before adjusting lower tension
be sure that the machine is threaded properly.
