To reinforce seam, sew backwards to the edge of fabric by pushing down reverse sewing lever. Hold lever down for longer reverse sewing. Release lever and commence for ward sewing, guiding fabric by hand as it is fed. Never pull material. 16

19 Sew reverse stitches for reinforce ment at end of seam. Draw fabric to left when sewing is finished. Cut threads with thread cutter behind presser bar. Adjusting Thread Tension Test stitch performance on a scrap of material you are going to use. With correct tension ( ), upper and lower threads tension is equal and strong enough to lock both threads in center. H upper tension is too tight (loose), upper (lower) thread lies straight along upper (lower) surface of fabric ). Correct by turning ten sion dial. + + _ _:- 17

20 I. LII.LM3 VVIlV%l Set machine as shown. To prevent seam ends unravelling, set machine for straight stitch and sew in reverse at beginning and ending of seam. I Zigzag Width Control Set control at required number. Larger the number, wider the stitch. Set it at 0 for straight sewing. Make sure needle is in upper posi tion when you set control, and extra thread is placed to the left or rear. 1 Thread Tension for Zigzag Stitch right side Better-looking zigzag stitching requires less upper tension than straight stitching. Loosen upper tension slightly. 18

Sew around outline with zigzag stitch adjusting stitch length and width according to shape and size of cut-out and type of base material. I To change direction at corners, or to sew very small circles, stop machine, positioning needle just away from edge of cut-out, lift press er foot and turn material. Lower presser foot and continue sewing. Sew a few stitches at end with zig zag width at 0. This is to prevent unstitching. 23

26 10. EMBROIDERY Set machine as shown. Remove foot, and holder screw. To avoid lower thread being pulled up, reduce upper thread tension. Needle Thread For good embroidery, it is important to use correct needles and thread. Use thin embroidery silk for upper No thread and a thinner silk of same kind and color for lower thread.
