BASIC SEWING CYCLE
When vou come to the etid of the seam and it is necessary to remove
the work from the nmachline, it is most important to complete the last
stitch Cycle folly before lifting the presser foot from the material.
This is done by turning the balance wheel towards you inorder that
both the ncedle and the take-up lever are at their highest position. You
will then find that the work is easily removed from the machine after
You lift the presser foot, and the machine is in the correct starting
position for the next searn.

if tie upper thread lies in the straight line on top of the

right. Setting this to No. 5 or lower will usually rectify the
stitchý. if the fault persists, it inay be necessary to strengthetn

TO ADJUST PRESSURE ON PRESSER FOOT
To release pressure of the foot. press down the ring (A),
which will allow the regulator to spring up to its highest
position and leave the material free from any pressure

For sewing thin or light fabrics, press the top of the r

pressure on the fabric.
For sewing thicker or heavier fabrics, push the top of

CHA IN STITCH
Stingle-thread cliaistitehing looks like regular straight stitching on top, but is a series of interlocking loops
on the underside of the fabric. Because the stitches are formed by only tipper thread, the stitches unravel
easily with just a pull on the thread end. Chain stitch is useful for basting, embroidery, etc.
