Be sure to have thread take-up lever 5,
Fig. 14 at its highest position.
Place the material beneath the presser
foot Q, Fig. 23, then turn the had wheel
to bring the point of the needle into the
material, then lower the presser foot by
means of presser bar lifter R and start
to sew.
Some materials, such as soft finished
sheers, nylons, jerseys, tricots and
other elastic and sponge textiles,
require a slight amount of assistance in
feeding during sewing operations.

another. However, it is not recommended that any sewing be done with a
threaded machine unless some fabric is under the presser foot.
