out of the fabric and pull the fabric out
from the front of the presser foot.

Holding both threads, pass them through
the curled part of the presser foot and pull
them toward the back of the presser foot.

the presser foot in the same way. Position
the edge of the fabric just behind the
needle and lower the presser foot.

from the right side of the presser foot,
lightly pull on the thread while slowly
sewing.

After sewing 2 (3/4 inch) to 3 cm (1 1/8
inch) of the fabric, release the thread and
guide the fabric from the front of the
presser foot with your both hands. Keep a
uniform amount of fabric wrapped around
the presser foot curl until the seam is
completed.
If too little fabric is wrapped around the
curl, then a threefold seam is not being sewn
Pull the fabric held in your right hand to the left in order
to increase the amount of fabric wrapped in the presser
foot curl. At the same time, carefully guide the fabric to
the right with your left hand.
If too much fabric is wrapped around the
curl, then a wide threefold seam is being
sewn
Pull the fabric held in your right hand to the right in
order to decrease the amount of fabric wrapped in the
presser foot curl. At the same time, carefully guide the
extra fabric to the left with your left hand.
