Helpful
Hint
Like
shown
on
drawing,
stitches
on
top
side
of
fabric
are
good
but
bottom
side
tends
to
have
a
bunch
of
thread,
it
usually
means
that
the
upper
thread
is
not
threaded
correctly
(especially
threading
of
the
upper
thread
tension
regulator
may
not
be
correct.)
Refer
to
page
14
for
correct
threading.
A
CAUTION:To
prevent
accidents.
The
feed
dog
will
feed
the
fabric
automatically.
Do
not
pull
nor
press
on
fabric
with
hands.
It
will
cause
needle
breakages
or
poor
quality
stitches.
