Feed dogs up using one of the three settings based

General Sewing Directions:

Insert needle about ¼” from corner and take two stitches. Turn the hand wheel toward you to raise the 
needle, raise the presser foot and pull the fabric toward you. Hold the four threads in your left hand and 
use the threads to guide the fabric into the foot. Lower the presser foot. Pull gently on threads in left hand 
while sewing the first few stitches to hold them in place. Fold over hem and continue feeding folded hem 
toward the curved guide of the foot as you sew.
