ENDING
SEAM/REMOVAL
OF
FABRIC
Stitch
to
the
edge
of
the
fabric,
then
press
the
reverse
stitch
button
and
backstitch
for
a
few
stitches
to
reinforce
the
end
of
the
seam.
Turn
the
hand
wheel
until
the
take-up
lever
is
in
its
highest
position
so
that
the
stitch
is
completed
and
the
threads
will
pull
freely.
Lift
the
presser
foot
and
remove
the
fabric
by
drawing
the
threads
to
the
left
and
back,
keeping
them
under
the
foot
so
as
not
to
bend
the
needle.
Cut
the
threads
with
the
thread
cutter
on
the
back
of
the
presser
bar.
Leave
the
thread
ends
three
to
four
inches
long.

of
the
material
underneath
the
Opening
