  3. Parts of the Sewing Machine

  4. RULES FOR USING THE SEWING MACHINE • The procedures and rules for using the sewing machines: • Before sewing, pull threads UNDER and BACK behind the presser foot about 3 or 4 inches. • The handwheel always turns toward you, even when you stitch in reverse. • Keep fingers several stitches away from stitching line; keep them flat on the machine to the sides of the presser foot. • The presser foot must always be in the down position for sewing. • Don’t force or pull the fabric—the machine will feed it automatically.

  5. RULES FOR USING THE SEWING MACHINE • Use the tread cutter to cut the thread tails or trim threads with scissors as you work. • The take-up lever should always be at the top when beginning and ending a line of sewing. • Report any needed repairs. • NEVER sew paper in the sewing machine. • Take pins out as you sew; DO NOT SEW OVER PINS! • Maintain a slow, even speed with the foot control. • Watch the seam guide as you sew (NOT THE NEEDLE) to produce an even sewing line. • When stopping in the middle of a line of sewing, put the needle down into the fabric to prevent thread loops. • Keep the bulk of the fabric to the left of the needle when sewing so you can see the seam guides on the needle plate.

  6. Lets begin…. • First of all

  7. Lets begin…. • Place the 2 edges of fabric, right sides together and tack along the seam line. • Stitch the seam, close to the tacking stitches, leaving an opening where the zip is to be inserted. • Press the seam allowance open. • Place the zip, wrong side up, over the tacked section of the seam. The zip can be placed centrally or the teeth can be placed to one side of the seam allowance for a lapped zip. • Pin and stitch the ends and the sides of the zip, using a zipper foot on your sewing machine, close to the teeth. Note the direction of the stitches on the diagrams. • Remove the tacking stitches.
