TRIAL SEWING
Sewing using a utility stitch
CAUTION
– Be aware of the needle at all
times while sewing, and keep
your hands away from all
moving parts such as the
needle, balance wheel and
thread take-up lever, otherwise
an injury may result.
– Do not pull or push the fabric
too hard while sewing, otherwise
injury may result.
– Never use bent needles. Such
needles can easily break, which
could result in injury.
1. Turn on the sewing machine. The straight stitch (left) is se-
lected.
3. While pressing down on the thread and the fabric with your
left hand, turn the balance wheel with your right hand to move
the needle to the sewing start position.

cm (2") of the upper thread and pass it under the presser foot
toward the rear of the machine.
