What do I need?
Customers will need to bring their own fabric and thread if they do not wish to use black or white thread.
How do I use it?
- Make sure the machine is plugged in and turn on your sewing machine. The power switch is a black switch on the right side of the machine.
- Place your thread on the spindle and follow the threading instructions printed on the machine. Thread your bobbin according to the instructions.
- Choose your desired stitch on the machine. To select a stitch, simply turn the pattern dial located on the lower right side of the machine.
- Change the stitch width and the stitch length with the dials on the top of the machine.
- Place your fabric under the presser foot, lower the presser foot and use the foot pedal to start sewing. When you press harder on the foot pedal, the machine will sew faster. When you press down lightly, the machine will sew slower.
