3.  The fabric will be fed automatically. You need 

only guide it in the required direction.

4.  Check the stitch formation (stitch chain) to 

see if it is uniform. If the stitch is not uniform, 
re-check that the threading has been done 
properly and in sequence.

5.  Follow the Seam Allowance Guide for 

consistent cutting of the fabric seams. The 
scale of Seam Allowance Guide shows 9.5, 
12.7, 15.9, and 25.4 mm (3/8, 1/2, 5/8, and 1 
inches) when the stitch width dial is set to "5".

To remove work

When the seam is finished, keep the machine 
running at a low speed to obtain chaining-off. Then 
cut the stitches 5 cm (2 inches) from the work. 
If feeding for chaining-off is not enough, pull the 
thread gently.

4.  Holding all threads with your left hand, turn the 

hand wheel slowly a few times toward you, 
and check to see that the threads entwine 
themselves before using the foot controller to 
sew.

Chaining-off

After test-sewing, continue to depress the foot 
controller slightly and chain off 10 cm (4 inches). 
The threads will entwine themselves into a chain 
automatically.

NOTE: 
If the thread tension is not correctly balanced, the 
chaining-off result will be uneven. If this happens, 
pull the threads slightly. Check the threading order 
and adjust the thread tension to create an even 
chain. (See CHAPTER 1 "Tension adjustment 
dial".)

To start sewing

1.  Thread the machine and pull all threads out 

about 15 cm (6 inches) behind the presser foot.

2.  Lift the presser foot and place the material well 

underneath the presser foot before starting to 
sew. Slowly sew a few stitches by turning the 
hand wheel.
