PREPARING
TO
SEW
Have
take-up
lever
at
highest
point
before
starting
to
sew.
Do
not
try
to
help
the
feeding
by
pulling the
material
as
this
may
deflect
the
needle
and
cause
it
to
break.
NEVER
run
machine
without
material
under
presser
foot.
Place
material
and
threads
in
position
under
the
presser
foot
and
lower
the
presser
foot.
You
are
now
ready
to
begin
sewing.
By
having
the
needle
at
its
highest point,
it
is
not
necessary
to
touch
the
hand
wheel
to
start
the
machine.
You
merely
press
the
control.
The
speed
of
the
machine
is
regulated
by
increasing
or
decreasing
the
amount
of
pressure
exerted
on
the
control.

CREATIVE
EMBROIDERY
Be
sure
zigzag
presser
foot
and
zigzag
needle
plate
are
in
place.
The
satin
stitch
(Fig.
24)
which
is
really
just
a
very
short
zigzag
stitch
and
the
basis
for
most
embroidery,
is
obtained
bysetting
stitch
length
control (see
page
9)
as
near
0
as
possible
without
stopping
the
feeding
action
and
zigzag
width
at,5,
(Fig.
23).
To
stitch
continuously
at
one
width
of
zigzag
stitching,
set
Fig. 24
zigzag
width
stop(B,
Fig.
23)
to
chosen
stitch
width
number.
With
the
machine
set
for
a
short
stitch
length,
different
designs
can
be
made
by
turning the
zigzag
width
control
knob
back
and
forth
between
0
and
5
or
any
other
combination
of
widths.
Try
setting
the
stop
(B,
Fig.
23)
at
1
and
various
other
numbers.
Set
a
rhythm
for
yourself
and
then
proceed.
After
a
while
you
will
become
quite
skillful,
varying
your
designs
by
the
speed
of
the
machine,
stitch
length,
and
manipulation
of
the
zigzag
control
knob.
