Starting
to
Sew
Now
that
you
are
familiar
with
the
controls
on
your
machine
and
with
the
accessories
provided
for
the
machine,
you
are
ready
to
start
to
sew.
Below
are
some
good
habits
to
follow
each
time
you
sitdown
to
sew:
1.
Test
the
needle-it
should
be
straight,
properly
set
and
sharp
on
the
point.
It
should
be
the
correct
size
for
the
fabric
and
thread
being
used.
Do
not
be
afraid
to
change
your
needle
frequently.
Many
of
the
new
fabrics
made
of
synthetic
blends
tend
to
dull
the needles
more
easily
than
fabrics
made
of
natural
fibers.
2.
Before
placing
the
material
on
the
machine,
see
that
the
ends
of
the
threads
have
been
drawn
about
4
inches
to
the
rear
of
the
machine.
Hold
on
to
threads
during
the
sewing
of
the
first
3
or
4
stitches
of
the
seam.
3.
Test
the
machine
stitch
on
a
scrap
of
fabric
you
plan
to
use.
The
fabric
should
be
double
thickness.
Adjust
the
machine
for
the
length
of
stitch
and
tension
suitable
to
your
fabric.
4.
Fabric
should
be
placed
under
the presser
foot
with
the
bulk
of
the
material
to
the
left
of
the
needle
and
the
right
edge
of
the
material
placed
on
the
5/8”
seam
marking
on
the
needle
plate
when
making
a
simple
seam.
5.
Run
the
machine
at
a
slow
even
speed.
The
more
pressure
you
put
on
the
speed
control,
the
taster
the
machine
will
sew.
6.
Fasten
each
seam
by
back
tacking
at
the
beginning
and
end
of
the seam.
7.
Always
finish
sewing
each
seam
with
the
needle
at
its
highest
point.
8.
Guide
the
fabric
gently
with
your
hand
in
front
of
the needle.
Never
pull
or
hold
the
fabric
in
such
a
way
that
the
normal
feeding
is
alltered.
9.
When
turning
the
hand
wheel
manually,
always
turn
it
toward
you.
